About the author

Aka N. Barr
Author of the early 497 series Ladybird books. Throughout the series, the words of Noel Barr are perfectly matched by the artwork of P.B. Hickling. Almost unique amongst Ladybird series’ 497 had the same author/artist combination throughout, which gives it a continuity perhaps a little lacking in other series where different artists brought in their own style.

Obsessed with this book as a child. My mother read it to me and was admonished if she dare skip a page.

[Ruth · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the more traumatic stories in the Ladybird series.

[Simon · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice little story, but not there best effort.
