Bagpuss

It's a wet and blustery day outside, but inside the old shop, Bagpuss and his friends are warm and busy. As the rain patters on the window, Madeleine, Gabriel, Professor Yaffle and the mice from the Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Organ find ways to turn a grey afternoon into something quietly magical. Originally published as a picture book by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, Bagpuss on a Rainy Day is now released for the very first time as a gentle, immersive audiobook. With narration by Oliver Postgate and beautifully restored archive audio, this short story captures the warmth, wit, and handcrafted charm of the original Smallfilms world. Ideal for screen-free family listening, bedtime, and quiet afternoons indoors, this comforting tale is part of the official Bagpuss audiobook series from Framewood Media - released during the 50th anniversary of Bagpuss (1975–2025) and in Oliver Postgate's 100th year.

On a beautiful sunny day, Bagpuss and his friends leave the shop behind for a joyful picnic in the countryside. Madeleine the rag doll, Gabriel the toad, Professor Yaffle, and the mice from the Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Organ all come along - and, of course, Bagpuss himself, a little bit sleepy but full of love. Originally published as a picture book in 1975, Bagpuss in the Sun is now brought to life as a gentle, lovingly narrated audiobook - capturing the warmth, quiet mischief, and handcrafted charm that made Smallfilms a beloved part of childhood. Perfect for younger listeners, bedtime, and screen-free family moments.

Step through the shop window and into the forgotten world of the mice on the mouse organ - brought to life once more in this never-before-released collection of charming short stories by Bagpuss creator Oliver Postgate. In the original television series Bagpuss, a group of resourceful little mice would emerge from a carved wooden mouse organ to mend, bake, or cause gentle chaos - often singing their famous tune, "We will fix it, we will mend it." These stories, recorded privately by Postgate himself, imagine what happened when the shop was quiet, the lights went out, and the mice went on their own adventures. From Grandfather Clock and Flying Yaffle to The China Pig, Sledging, Raindrops and The Lawnmower, this rare and remarkable anthology captures the secret life of the mice in thirty whimsical, warm-hearted tales. Mischievous, miniature, and endlessly curious, the mice craft inventions, battle the cold, explore distant lands, and navigate everyday mysteries - always with kindness, teamwork, and a touch of mischief. Discovered among Postgate's personal recordings and digitally remastered for this edition, Mouse Tales preserves his unmistakable storytelling voice - both literally and figuratively. It is a time capsule of imagination, and a love letter to those gentle moments that still resonate with listeners of all ages. Whether you're a lifelong fan of Bagpuss or discovering these stories for the first time, this audiobook offers a magical journey into the miniature world of the mouse organ - where even the tiniest creatures have the biggest adventures.
