Authored by Gerard Vaughan, 'Mummy, I Don't Feel Well' is a compelling non-fiction work from 1977, presenting itself as a guide to understanding common childhood illnesses.

Its publication in the late 1970s places it within a fascinating period for medical understanding and public health advice for families.

This illustrated non-fiction work offers a unique snapshot into paediatric health and parental guidance from the late 20th century. Its vintage appeal and specific subject matter make it a valuable addition for collectors of medical history, vintage parenting literature, or those keen to explore the evolution of health education.
