The Bumper Book of Look and Learn: The Best of the Classic Children's Magazine - Hardcover

Whoever reads it, of whatever age, will undoubtedly reap great benefit. The gorgeous full-page illustrations alone are worth the price. These short essays are excitingly written. On virtually every page I learned something I didn't know before. - Craig Brown (Mail on Sunday)

Christmas past has just jumped out at me in the form of The Bumper Book of Look and Learn. For many people of my generation, this compendium of vividly coloured work from the magazine will plunge into memory - though I'm sure the most internet-agile modern child could still learn much from it. (Alan Hollinghurst Guardian)

Look and Learn has become a historical insight, a portal into a bygone age, a remembrance of things past (Sunday Telegraph)

Brings back so many memories. Brilliant stuff and still enthralling (the Bookseller)

A lavish tome. (Glasgow Herald)

Look and Learn is fondly remembered by thousands as the classic children's magazine from the 60s and 70s. 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 peerless story of The Trigan Empire, a cult feature in the original. 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.
