Joan the Wad is an advert that appears in almost every Fanthorpe Badger book. I thought it was amusing enough to include here. Earlier versions like the one above, say "History Free for a Stamp" . Later ones like the one below from 1960 says "History Free for a Shilling" . . . .and you have to include a stamped self addressed envelope! Funny. . . That's not my idea of free. Especially since most Badgers only cost 2 shillings and six-pence!
