The classic learn-to-read books — now available again!
Summersdale are delighted to be re-issuing two of the famous Janet and John books.
Icons of the 50s and 60s, Janet and John were first introduced in primary schools in 1949 and continued to be used in 80% of schools until the 1970s. In fact, 70% of Britain’s adults learned to read with Janet and John!
Enchanting and nostalgic for those in their 40s and 50s who learned to read with Janet and John but also fascinating for younger people, these two books take us back to an age that has gone forever. Additionally, Janet and John offer us an intriguing glimpse of the way that family life was portrayed to the primary school children of the 1950s and 1960s.
These two beautiful hardback books are bound to bring back many memories!
