synopsis

In Zagazoo, happy couple Bella and George are delighted to receive a strange parcel containing a baby who, to their complete surprise, transforms into a series of badly-behaved animals. Jack and Nancy tells the story of two children who unexpectedly find themselves blown away by a storm to an exotic island. In Mrs Armitage on Wheels eccentric inventor Mrs Armitage sets off for a quiet cycle to her cousin Angela’s along with her faithful dog. In Loveykins we meet the ever so loving Angela Bowling. When she stumbles upon a small helpless bird one early morning, she decides to care for it as if it were her own child. Angel Pavement meanwhile introduces us to two normal girls, Corky and Loopy, who double as helpful angels. Set in historic times, Snuff tells the tale of Sir Thomas Magpie, a knight who despairs of his unfortunate page boy, Snuff, who can’t seem to do anything right.
