Lovely Vintage Ladybird Children's Book, 'The Story of Medicine' 1970's.

Classic vintage Ladybird Children's book from their educational series 'Achievements', series 601 with the Lady Bird logo in the 1970's. The book is full of super information about the history of medicine starting in prehistoric times through to the present day. Very educational Ladybird Children's book perfect for your promising child to learn about medicine and its earliest history.

"This is the story of Man's struggle against disease, a struggle which began in pre-historic times and continued through periods of advance, enlightenment and disbelief. The story continues in an era of fantastic medical progress in which machines reproduce body functions and human organs are passed from one person to another."

A thoroughly educational children's book for a child who is keen to learn or perhaps a fun nostalgic gift for a friend already in the medical profession! First edition Matt Card Covers with a publication date for 1972 and price 24p on the rear cover. A lot of pocket money in those days!

Kittys Reader Notes

A fabulous introduction perhaps for a child interested in becoming a Nurse or a Doctor when they grow up or just for general educational purposes. Or a tongue in cheek gift for an established Medical Professional!

Like all Ladybird books the text is written in easy to read language although this one is a little more 'grown up' than the real early years Ladybird books and is actually quite a good 'potted' history of the subject of medicine including people such as Florence Nightingale.
