Another series that
was never properly developed by Ladybird, this series ran
to just two books over an eight-year period. Both were written
by N. F. Pearson. Frank Hampson illustrated Christmas Customs
and Special Days was illustrated by Roger Hall.
The first title in this series is considered reasonably rare,
and happens to be one of the last Ladybird titles, from all
series, to be published in a dust-wrapper. For this reason
it is believed that it originally had a small print run with
it’s dust-wrapper, and was later reprinted several times
as a matt edition.
