This book arrived yesterday, with thanks to Jo Norcup for alerting me to its existence.A reminder of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's enduring genius....
I have to find a way to get this into a project in some way. It was an indelible part of my childhood...
Here's the opening description of the setting of the Noggin the Nog stories:
“This
land of dark forest and snow
This
land of mountains and valleys
Of
deep narrow bays where the sea roars between the black rocks
And
the wind howls cold in the night
There
was the little town of wooden houses
Clustered
by a bay where the sea was calm
And
there above it was the small castle… the castle of King Knut.”
Landscapes of childhood imagination....
