Bagpuss Mouse Tales

"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."

Ragged Dick

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. 'Mr. Standfast' is the third part of a trilogy which begins with 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' and 'Greenmantle'. In this nail-biting adventure story, Hannay must outwit a foe far more intelligent than himself; muster the courage to propose to the lovely, clever Mary Lamington; and survive a brutal war. Although Mr. Standfast is a sequel to The Thirty-Nine Steps, it offers far more characterisation and philosophy than the earlier book. For its pace and suspense, its changes of scenery and thrilling descriptions of the last great battles against the Germans, Mr Standfast offers everything that has made its author so enduringly popular."
