Clever Folk is a collection of traditional stories and reading material designed to provide additional reading practice for young readers. The book is illustrated and has the distinctive vintage appearance associated with the Beacon Readers series.
This copy is the 1955 reprint, making it a lovely example of post-war British educational publishing.
The Beacon Readers were widely used in schools and homes, and today these colourful old school readers are increasingly appealing to collectors of vintage children’s books, educational history and nostalgic British publishing.
A delightful piece of mid-century children’s literature and an interesting survivor from the era of traditional school reading books.
