About this audiobook
Oliver, the creative mind behind Bagpuss, The Clangers, and Ivor the Engine, invites listeners into his world with this charming memoir, "Seeing Things". Narrated by Oliver himself, this audiobook feels like a cosy chat with a dear friend, taking you through the magical journey of creating some of the most beloved children's television ever made.
From the humble beginnings in a Kent cowshed, Oliver, together with his lifelong friend Peter Firmin, crafted enchanting tales on shoestring budgets, bringing to life unforgettable characters and worlds. In this memoir, he reflects on his adventures in animation and storytelling, sharing both the whimsical and challenging moments that shaped his work.
With warmth, humour, and that familiar voice so loved by fans, Oliver tells the story of how these shows came to be—how the magic of Smallfilms turned imagination into iconic British television. This is more than a memoir; it's a nostalgic trip into the heart of childhood memories, a tribute to creativity, and a celebration of one man's extraordinary ability to see the world in a wonderfully unique way.
Whether you're revisiting his stories or discovering them for the first time, "Seeing Things" is a heart-warming and captivating listen for fans of all ages.
