We discovered early on that our experience of books as children had been very different. Libby loved fiction - Enid Blyton, Edward Lear, AA Milne, Lewis Carroll. Simon, on the other hand, learnt to read with books about aircraft, ships and tanks.
The books we both remembered reading, were the Ladybird series, and in particular the Ladybird Book of the Farm. We have Libby's copy, published in 1958.
It's a beautiful book, encouraging small children to read using the animals of the farmyard and their young. We planned what we would do, if we could be lucky enough one day to have a farm just like that.
So welcome to our version of the Ladybird Farm. We hope you will enjoy the Tales we have to share
