The Ladybird book of whom......???

[scottnsilky]

I had no idea Ladybird books were still being published, but I noticed today in Tesco's library the Ladybird book of Donald Trump! Obviously sarcastic, derisive and amazed at how he got where he is. Google described it as charming, I don't know about that, maybe they were being sarcastic too. At £8 too expensive to buy on a whim, for me,at least, but worth a few minutes of my time.

There are more . . .

I was recently given the Ladybird book of The Husband and the Ladybird book of The Mid-Life Crisis.

As you can imagine, both books contributed hugely to my understanding of these matters.

I notice the cost of delivery is a lot more than the actual book.

Perhaps the price stays high because of scarcity: like Cardinal Wolsey and Bishop Tunstall acting on the orders of Henry VIII to intercept or buy and burn any copies of Wm Tyndale's translation of the Bible, maybe Trump has ordered minions throughout the world to follow suit.

Ah yes, a noble thought, but yesterday I noticed it was reduced to half price, I think I might buy it for a friend at the new price. Perhaps our favourite Scottish-golf course owner's tentacles are failing?
