A fascinating vintage publication from the Young Historian Series, Lands of the Bible by E. Royston Pike was published in 1962 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson (Educational) Ltd. This educational work, enriched with illustrations by Sally Mellersh, explores the geographical and cultural landscapes of biblical regions through a mid-20th-century lens, tailored for younger readers.
This copy bears a school library stamp from Cardinal Wiseman Girls’ School in Coventry, adding a layer of provenance and nostalgia. The cloth-bound hardback shows general age-related wear, with some fading to the spine and edges, and a small penned classification note inside the cover pocket.
With beautiful covers, aged pages and timeless stories, vintage books make for beautiful gifts. Holding a small bit of history in your hands, they offer a glimpse into the past and give the opportunity to read the literature in its original form.
Ideal for collectors of vintage educational books, religious historians, or readers with an interest in biblical geography.
