The Books

There have been a large number of Noggin the Nog books printed and reprinted over the last 40 years, and after a prolonged absence, the original 12 stories are now available as a boxed set.  Details of the individual story books are provided in "The Tales".  As well as the original 12 tales that formed the saga of Noggin, there was a series of "Starting to Read" books featuring new adventures of Noggin and his people aimed at the younger reader which you can also find details of in "The Tales".  Additionally, to celebrate the popularity of Noggin's adventures, a 48-page book titled "Nogmania" was published in the late '70s and again in 2000 (in very limited numbers) in celebration of all things Nog.

As well as appearing in his own adventures, Noggin's exploits were also chronicled in a number of children's annuals, most notably "Pippin" annuals.   Old Noggin books are still out there, and if you search hard enough they can be found hiding in second hand bookshops and at book fairs.  However, as these books are now getting on a bit, prices can be as high as �30 for a first edition in top condition.

There is some more good news for fans though - details of Oliver Postgate's autobiographical "Seeing Things" can be found in the "Biographies" section.

The Sagas of Noggin the Nog

2001 saw the reprinting of all 12 of the original stories as part of a beautifully presented boxed set, published by  The Dragons' Friendly Society, and available directly from then or from amazon.co.uk.
