I was lucky enough to see @LBFlyawayhome 'The Wonderful World of Ladybird Artists' when it was in Leicester & was delighted to go again today @bailiffgatemuse 🐞
My other half hadn't seen it before & had a great time going through the history titles shouting 'read it, read it...'

Not only is #maisiematilda's fore-edge work absolutely stunning, but I love the fact she uses second hand books: so many of which would otherwise end up being pulped. You can find her here: linktr.ee/MaisieMatilda
