Bagpuss, oh, Bagpuss

Oh, fat, furry cat puss,

Wake up and look at the thing that I bring

Wake up, be bright, be golden and light.

Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing

On this #AppreciateADragonDay, let me show my appreciation for one of my childhood faves, Ivor The Engine, and his friends, Jones The Steam, and Idris, a Welsh dragon.

The TV series was one of many gems produced by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate's Smallfilms animation studio, which also made The Clangers and Bagpuss.

As well as spending many hours transfixed by these gentle, beautifully-made programmes, I also loved losing myself in my little library of Collins' Picture Lions, which also included Judith Kerr's Mog stories, and loads of Janet & Allan Ahlberg's wonderful books, including my eternal favourite, Burglar Bill!
