Cottontails Baby Vintage|VINTAGE Ladybird book – The Runaway with DJ (late 1950s)

Lovely vintage Ladybird book.

‘The Runaway’  from series 401 (animal rhyming tales)

Story and illustration by A J Macgregor, verses by W Perring

Original printed price – 2’6 NET

Condition:  Excellent – it is in lovely condition complete with dust jacket. Just a few very small scuff marks to the the dust jacket, but near perfect. 

I am no expert on dating, but have used the wonderful resource available on Helen Day’s website Fly Away Home and believe this book is from 1958 or 1959. (It features the original open-wing Ladybird logo, and in the list of other Ladybird books available, the most recent additions to the catalogue include The Story of Nelson, The Farm and The Ambush).
