Seeing Things : An Autobiography

This is the autobiography of Oliver Postgate, the man who wrote, narrated and filmed " Bagpuss" , " The Clangers" , " Ivor the Engine" , " Noggin the Nog" and " Pogle`s Wood" . The book begins with Postgate`s childhood, then goes on to cover his years as a conscientious objector, farmer, inventor, actor and stage manager before looking at the period, beginning in the late 1950s, when he created children`s films. In more recent years he has become an advocate of solar power and an opponent of nuclear weapons. This is a humourous account of a colourful life.
