About us

Since 2004 Candida Books and Collectibles has specialised in Ladybird Books and Collectibles. As a collector, I know how important clear accurate descriptions and photographs are for my customers. Also, protecting each Book with a free plastic removable sleeve part of my customers service for over 13 years.
As a child I grew up reading Ladybird Books, from format to content, their books are designed to help young readers and inspire learning.
Before Ladybird Books, Henry Wills in 1867 opened a bookshop in Loughborough and expanded his business into printing six years later. In 1904, William Hepworth became a partner and the company became Wills & Hepworth, though Wills retired shortly after. They first began publishing Ladybird Books in 1914 which were of a larger format one example is "The Fairies Book" in my Logo which is from the Ladybird Series. During WWII the iconic format that readers are familiar with today: a book of 56 pages in full colour, was printed.

    I wish all ebay transactions were this smooth, easy and satisfying. The seller made contact as soon as my purchase was made and continued to keep me informed of the parcels progress. The delivery was very quick and the parcel was safe and secure with the book wrapped up in the parcel neater than any item I have ever received via ebay. The book is in better condition than I expected and the price was very reasonable. I recommend this seller to anyone and everyone.
