I found the book !   

It was a Collins Harper publication. I eventually spotted it on the internet and contacted the site owner and ordered 2 copies-one an original and the other a later publication. 

Beautiful illustrations

What fantastic illustrations Squeaky.  It's the sort of book I would have loved back then - can't understand why I haven't seen it before.

Mmmm same here Loopy  They are wonderful-especially for a youngster back then    Maybe you were into boys magazines and Steve on Follyfoot during the early 70's instead

I'm glad you found the book at last. They are lovely illustrations.

These are some illustrations from a Children's Encyclopedia called "Pictorial Knowledge" that was produced in the late 1930s and was passed to me by my mother when I was very young. It has some fantastic pictures. One of the editors was Enid Blyton. I'm afraid some of the articles would not be regarded as politically correct nowadays!
