‘After the success of their ingenious idea of matching pictures from Ladybird’s archive with prose that mocks the mores of modern life, they are bowing out with a bang with this compendium’ – Sunday Telegraph
From the people who gave you classics such as The Ladybird Book of The Hangover and The Ladybird Book of The Mid-Life Crisis, they bring you this collection of what could have been. Imagine a world where there aren’t just the thirty-two Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups you’ve seen in your local bookshop or downstairs toilet but hundreds and hundreds more…
In this coffee-table book you don’t have to, with never before seen covers, excerpts and paraphernalia from the archives, colourfully presented and helpfully divided into the following chapters:
– Fun & Games
– Adventure
– The World Around Us
– At Work
– At Home
– Coping
– Not Coping
– Giving Up
‘I do not hasten to say that these books are the new Da Vinci Code.’ Aisling Bea
‘These books are small masterpieces. They make me glad I learned to read.’ David Quantick
‘HILARIOUS. Beserkly brilliant.’ Mel Giedroyc
