(Ladybird Books), Loughborough First published 1948 (MCMXLVIII) 1970s Ladybird reprint, ISBN 0721403298 Description: Vintage children's hardcover, 52 pag…es. Pictorial paper-covered boards with colour onlay to front. Blue rear board with list of Series 401 titles and publisher details. Endpapers feature charming blue line drawings. Interior includes full-colour illustrations on every other page opposite verse text, plus smaller blue cameo illustrations. This copy includes a handwritten gift inscription on the front endpaper ("With love to Katie from Auntie Gertie"). Condition: Very Good vintage condition. Boards show light edge rubbing, minor scuffs, and age-related wear consistent with handling. Spine tight. Pages clean with some natural toning; no major tears, markings, or missing pages. Illustrations bright and vibrant. A delightful reading copy with character—ideal for collectors of early Ladybird rhyming stories or fans of mid-20th century children's illustration. The Story: A humorous adventure in verse following the Bunney-Fluff twins (Flip and Flop) as they move from their riverside home "Bunnymead" to a safer "Bunney-Cot." With the help of Mr. Duck the boatman and friends like water rats and Froggy, they navigate mishaps on the river, including a dramatic rescue. Charming, gentle tale full of whimsy, perfect for bedtime reading. About the Creators: A. J. MacGregor (Angusine Jeanne MacGregor, 1879-1961) was a pioneering British illustrator and author who helped define the early visual style of Ladybird Books. Born in Harborne, Birmingham, to Scottish parents, she studied at Birmingham School of Art. MacGregor created both story and illustrations for many of the first Ladybird titles in Series 401 (rhyming animal stories launched in the early 1940s). Her warm, expressive watercolour illustrations of anthropomorphic animals—rabbits, ducks, frogs, and more—brought charm and personality to these books, making them instant classics. She contributed significantly to the success of titles like Bunnikin's Picnic Party, Ginger's Adventures, and this one. Her work is highly sought after by Ladybird collectors for its nostalgic appeal and artistic quality. W. Perring wrote the engaging verses for this and many other Series 401 books. His rhythmic, playful poetry complemented MacGregor's illustrations perfectly, creating accessible stories that appealed to young readers in post-war Britain. Series Context: Series 401 represents Ladybird's earliest numbered series of original rhyming stories. These small, affordable hardbacks with their distinctive format (text on one side, full-colour plate opposite) set the template for decades of Ladybird publishing. This title is a key early example, first issued in 1948. This copy of The Bunney-Fluffs' Moving Day would make a wonderful addition to a Ladybird collection or a charming gift for fans of vintage children's literature. A. J. MacGregor (illustrator).

The Runaway tells the delightful tale of Sandy, a pet rabbit who grows tired of life in his hutch and dreams of freedom. He runs away to join Bobbity, a wild rabbit, and his woodland friends for a wonderful picnic party filled with adventure, a mischievous fox, and a happy resolution. Story and Illustrations by A. J. MacGregor; Verses by W. Perring. Angusine Jeanne MacGregor (often credited as A. J. MacGregor, 1881-1961? - active mid-20th century) was a prolific British illustrator and author known for her warm, expressive watercolour illustrations of animals and children. She created many of the original Ladybird Series 401 titles in the late 1940s, bringing to life endearing characters with soft, detailed artwork full of charm and gentle humour. Her style perfectly captured the innocence of post-war children's literature. MacGregor's contributions to Ladybird helped define the publisher's early success in producing affordable, high-quality picture books. W. Perring provided the catchy, rhythmic verses that accompany the illustrations, making the story engaging for young readers learning to enjoy poetry and rhyme. This edition features full-colour illustrations throughout alongside delightful blue line drawings on the endpapers. The front cover shows young Michael (Sandy's owner) feeding his pet rabbit outside the hutch. The back cover lists other titles in Series 401 and notes the 50p price. Condition Boards are bright and clean with light edge rubbing and minor corner bumping consistent with age and gentle use. Spine is tight and intact with no splits. Pages are clean and bright; no tears, no writing, no inscriptions. Minor natural ageing to paper (light toning). A couple of small handling marks and faint creases. Overall a very attractive copy that displays well. These later Series 401 reprints are increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage Ladybird books, children's literature enthusiasts, and those building sets of the animal rhyme series (Bunnikin's Picnic Party, Ginger's Adventures, Smoke and Fluff, etc.). Perfect for bedtime reading, nostalgia, or as a gift for a new parent or grandchild. A. J. MacGregor (illustrator).
