Rupert Bill and the Pirates Mary Tourtel Vintage Children's Book Little Bear Library 5 1970's

Rupert, Bill and the Pirates, was first created by the original Rupert the Bear Illustrator, Mary Tourtel in 1935.

Each delightful Rupert the Bear Tale is illustrated throughout on every page with the original Mary Tourtel line drawings of Rupert and his various friends that feature in each story.

This Rupert Little Bear Library series that was published in the 1970's eventually had 18 stories in total published between 1973 to 1975 and were available exclusively from Woolworth's stores in England.

These sweet little daffodil yellow Rupert Bear Books were perfect for children to collect.

Every story is told in verse that makes them such fun to read to your children.

Of course the iconic store 'Woolworths' sadly are no longer on the High Street and these sweet little vintage Rupert Books are now a trip down memory lane.

Many children used to eagerly save up their pocket money for the few pennies required to buy them.

A lovely fun read.
