Story Teller TV

Welcome to Story Teller TV

The videos on this channel are all based on the Story Teller part-works published by Marshall Cavendish between 1982-1983.

The original Story Teller was first released in December 1982 as a fortnightly part-work. Each magazine contained a selection of children's stories, some traditional folk tales like "Anansi the Spiderman", some children's tales such as "Gobbolino, the Witch's Cat", and some contemporary works written especially for the series, like "Timbertwig". Most issues also contained poetry.

The stories were accompanied by lavish colour artwork and each issue of Story Teller came with a cover-mounted audio cassette tape containing a reading of the stories, complete with music and sound effects.

Uniquely, the stories were read by professional actors and celebrities of the time, including Richard Briers, Sheila  Hancock, Derek Jacobi, and Nigel Lambert.
