Once famous for its earnest, wholesome books that gave British children gentle introductions to topics such as space travel, nuclear power and the gunpowder plot, the publisher Ladybird is launching a series of guides to help cynical adults make sense of modern, from hipsters to hangovers.
Embracing the trend for spoof Ladybird editions that juxtapose the twee and genteel imagery with captions rewritten for comic effect, the company said its “kidult” range is intended to “enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope”.
