Ladybird series 662
History of the Arts
7 titles published between 1940 - 1980

This series came examined several different areas concerning the history of the Arts.

Designed with the slightly older child in mind these books were fairly popular with schools.

The last title in this series, The Story of Clowns, is considered the most collectable – there was just a small print-run on this title, and because of this rarely shows up for sale, even on eBay – when it does it can often sell for more than it’s true value.
