VINTAGE Ladybird book – Tiptoes the Mischievous Kitten (c.1971)

Lovely vintage Ladybird book.

‘Tiptoes the Mischievous Kitten’  from series 497 (animal tales)

Story by Noel Barr, illustration by P B Hickling

Original printed price – 2’6 | 12 1/2p NET

Condition:  Pretty good – there is some scuffing around the spine and edges of the cover (especially right hand edge of front cover) and the back cover is very slightly grubby from handling (the yellow Ladybird board covers always show this more than any other colour!) otherwise it is very nice and tidy, and inside is 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 c.1971 (the tally no. on the back is 250).
