Pigwig Papers by Richard Harvey.

[Juwesm]

Does anyone remember these stories? We had the books when I was little, and the tape of the narration by Arthur Lowe. Included 'The Squirrel of Wirral', 'The Lion and Curiosity', 'Dolphin Dee and the Chimpanzee' - they were brilliant! I wish I could track down a set for my DS.

Hi, yes they were fantastic! Many happy holiday memories driving to Francne with the girls listening to the CD and laughiing. I've still got the cassette and I'm trying to get it onto CD ... watch this thread and I'll let you know if I manage and could share a copy with you

Yes I want to reactivate this thread

Does anyone still have a copy? I would love to hear it again

Hi, I was desperately searching for a copy of Pigwig Papers online as a surprise present for my brothers 40th birthday.....was his favourite thing to listen to as a kid! chrihawk did you ever manage to get it onto CD and if so would you be willing to let me have a copy for a reasonable fee? Thanks

If anyone is still following this, I found the stories on Spotify. You have to put in the name of the poem you want. I’ve just listened to the Kangaroo of Waterloo with my five year old and she’s giggled and laughed the whole way through

Hi, my wife had some as a kid. I have the complete collection now except for the pig one.
I thought/think it’s called the pig in the wig, the book anyway. if you find it I’d love a scan of it to print myself as I can’t find it anywhere.
I have the rest of your interested in a scan of any of them.

They're great: still make me smile. The pig in the wig is about a motorbike -racing pig who was bald and was a misfit because he didn't have long hair like the other riders. It includes the line 'he tried a hair pull, that made him feel ill, and turned his head purple instead.... It took him a week, scrubbing hard in a creek, ...." 😁
I don't have the book but I have a recording and could transcribe the rest of it if you like: this is all I can remember

I loved these as a kid. Moved to America when I was young and played them over and over. I have a tape but was going to look into having it made digital. I’ll check Spotify. Would anyone mind reminding me of the names of the stories?
