Synopsis

Selected by Stephen Pickles.

A beautifully packaged annual featuring the best of old favourites, "Look and Learn" fondly remembered by thousands as the Children's classic magazine from the 60's and 70's.

It covered a vast range of subjects, from bumble bees to rocket science, from English literature to Greek and Roman legend. But history was its chief concern, and its brilliant illustrators filled its pages with beautiful pictures of the past.

This lavishly illustrated tribute to the magazine presents a kaleidoscopic journey through time, whose narrative pauses for occasional episodes from the cult story of The Trigan Empire. The Bumper Book of Look and Learn takes us on a lightning tour of past and future worlds worthy of Doctor Who, and will appeal to all ages.

Packed with superb illustrations by some of the greatest illustrators of their time, including wonderful illustrations by Frank Bellamy, Ron Embleton, Cecil Doughty, Peter Jackson, Andrew Howat and many more.
