Originally, these stories were published by Row Peterson and Company as the Alice and Jerry books in the USA. The Janet and John books emerged as a popular way to help children learn to read in 1949. These average English children of the 1950s are icons in the minds of the generations who grew up with them. Summersdale is thrilled to be bringing these classic bestsellers from yesteryear back into print as beautifully illustrated hardcover editions that make the perfect nostalgia gift items.
