This history of children's television describes its development since the earliest days when Muffin the Mule made his first appearance in 1946. It tells how many of the best-loved and most successful programmes originated, and writes about the people behind the scenes and in front - the producers, animators, presenters, actors and actresses. Among the many types of programmes discussed are puppets (from Sooty and Tingha and Tucker in the Fifties, to today's favourites), pre-school programmes such as Playschool and Rainbow, storytelling (especially the long-running Jackanory), drama, information programmes such as Blue Peter, and Saturday-morning programmes and entertainment.

First published in 1968, THE GIANT UNDER THE SNOW created a fascinating world of magic, ancient evil and curses long before Harry Potter and His Dark Materials. Three children find an ornate Celtic buckle. To them it's treasure, a fantastic find. They have no idea that it has awakened a giant who has lain at rest for centuries. Little do they know that an evil warlord and his Leathermen have also awaited this moment, this chance to wield their deadly power. In a chilling tale full of menace and suspense the final battle between good and evil must be fought. This is a story that transcends age. Beautifully written, subtle and evocative, THE GIANT UNDER THE SNOW transports the reader into an intensely atmospheric world where the imagination knows no bounds.
