This together with a few other books was one of the most memorable tomes I got at Christmas back in the late Sixties.
I adored paleontology and early man when I was nearing 10.
Hamlyn was one of the most prolific publishers for kids back then, along with Collins and Purnell in the UK.
Along with the toys, I have tried to collect many of the books I had as a kid.
Did you have this or any other books like it?
Yep, have a couple of Hamlyn books and the Ladybird book 'Our Land in the Making', about the geology of the British Isles, which I won for coming first in spelling, in my class, back in 1967.
ReplyDeleteMish.
hey, well done coming first in spelling in 67! I was a mere 6 year old so probably couldn't spell much! Our Land in the Making sounds great. I loved geology books too. One called Fossils and Minerals or similar was one I liked. Could have been Hamlyn pr Collins.
DeleteI have Submarines, Prehistoric Animals and Rockets and Missiles from the same series!
ReplyDeleteCool. I had measles, mumps and chicken pox too!
