NB – There is an error in the
bibliography at the back of the W. E. Johns biography that lists Worrals Goes
Afoot as published BEFORE Worrals in the Wastelands - but this is incorrect.
The dates for the two books given
here relate to when the British Library received their copies and it is also
quite clear from the content of the books that Worrals in the Wastelands was
written before Worrals Goes Afoot.
All Lutterworth covers and Hodder and
Stoughton covers are from my own collection of Worrals first editions.
The copyright in all of the images
belong to the original publishers and artists.
THE SIX HODDER & STOUGHTON COVERS WERE
BY LESLIE STEAD –

The last four Lutterworth
covers were by Reginald Heade (born Reginald Cyril Webb) 1901 – 1957, a
well-known book illustrator.
I do not know which
artists did the covers of the first two books, Worrals of the W.A.A.F and
Worrals Carries On.
