The Encyclopaedia of Cult Children's TV by Richard Lewis
Do you ever lie awake at night, wondering whether the Snorkmaiden was having an affair with Moomin Papa? Have you ever drunk a bit too much, and started an argument about Button Moon? Does Noesybonk from Jigsaw still haunt your nightmares? Do you find yourself drifting off during boring business meetings, trying to remember the names of all the Flumps? If so, this book is for you. The Encyclopaedia of Cult Children's TV will take you back to a better age. It will take you on a journey back to Chigley, to Moominvalley, to Toytown, high above the streets and houses, where it was all so honest and simple. Where it was perfectly ordinary for a camp man in dungarees, a big woolly bear, a fey pink hippo and a bitchy zipped-up gimp to get in bed with each other and sing a song...
'a genuine reference book, wittily written and on a nicely small scale, that will keep you browsing' Scotland On Sunday 'engaging stuff, Lewis makes a witty companion on the trawl back through a misspent childhood' Harpers & Queen 'It'll have you laughing all the way down memory lane' B Magazine 'What sets this book apart is the wit and perception of the writing' Ham & High 'a delicious mix of programmes' South Wales Argus
Richard Lewis has been a tone-deaf musician, a colourblind graphic designer and a not very well-read bookseller. He has worked in locations as diverse and exotic as France and Leamington Spa, but now works in London as journalist. He lives close to the river Thames with a large collection of children's videos which is now for sale. This is his first book.
