Series: Ladybirds for Grown-Ups

A luxurious, coffee-table celebration of the entire Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups phenomenon - featuring brand new content!

Can you imagine a world where there aren't just the thirty-two Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups you've seen in your local bookshop or downstairs toilet but hundreds and hundreds more?

If you can't, then this book is here to imagine it for you.

Here is an enormous collection of helpful guides to everything from worryingly high cholesterol to worryingly high mortgages - from teenagers you can't understand to prizewinning novels you can't understand - all presented simply and colourfully, in a way that even the most jaded, exhausted, baffled grown-up can enjoy.

'This is such a good idea I'm currently experiencing all the physical sensations of anger because I didn't think of it, whereas Jason and Joel did, the shits.' Charlie Brooker

'I do not hasten to say that these books are the new Da Vinci Code.' Aisling Bea

'These books are small masterpieces.

They make me glad I learned to read.' David Quantick

'HILARIOUS.

Beserkly brilliant.' Mel Giedroyc

Reviews for The Wonderful World of Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups
