Description
A colourful vintage edition of The Children’s Illustrated Dictionary, beautifully illustrated by A. A. Nash and published by Juvenile Productions Ltd. This charming reference book contains over 600 full‑colour pictures, designed to help young readers learn new words through bright, engaging artwork.
This copy has scuffs to the cover from use, but remains a well‑cherished book, with a child’s name inscription inside. The internal pages retain their appeal, filled with lively illustrations of animals, objects, scenes, and everyday vocabulary. Although the exact year isn’t stated, the design, typography, and production style strongly suggest a late 1950s to early 1960s publication.
A lovely addition for collectors of vintage children’s educational books, illustration fans, or anyone who enjoys mid‑century learning aids.
