Step through the shop window and into the forgotten world of the mice on the mouse organ — brought to life once more in this never-before-released collection of charming short stories by Bagpuss creator Oliver Postgate.

In this enchanting Clangers story, read by Oliver Postgate, a mysterious gift from the Iron Chicken leads Tiny and Small on a musical adventure. With only two notes left, Small Clanger carefully plants them in the rocky ground, hoping they might grow again. To bring them to life, the pair must ask the Cloud for help — but only polite requests will do. When the rain finally falls, the notes blossom into beautiful Music Trees, their branches hung with fruit-shaped notes that sing in harmony.

On a majestic little planet far out in space lives the enchanting family of the Clangers, a community of small pink mouse-like creatures who speak in soft, musical whistles. Their world is filled with wonder, invention, and friendship, where every day brings a new discovery beneath the starry sky.

Uncovering a mirror in a quarry, Small Clanger becomes horribly obsessive about his discovery. While he proudly shows others his mirror, he refuses to allow anyone else to look at their reflection. Small Clanger's vanity causes him to be selfish and rude to his friends and family. Nobody wants to speak to him or give him green soup, the Clangers' favourite meal. Soup Dragon makes a deal with Small: he can have some soup if he allows her to look into the mirror. Small Clanger does not hold up his part of the bargain, so the Soup Dragon spills her soup over the reflective piece of glass.

In this classic Clangers story, read by Oliver Postgate, a strange accident leads to a brand-new friendship. While testing Major Clanger's rockets, the family accidentally strikes an Iron Chicken flying through space. Feeling sorry for the metallic stranger, the Clangers gather the scattered pieces and carefully put her back together. But once repaired, the Iron Chicken proves rather impolite, creating chaos on the Clangers' peaceful planet. Tiny Clanger, ever kind and patient, offers the visitor a copper-leaf necklace and gently explains how friends should behave.

Ivor, however, has a dream beyond hauling cargo: he wants to sing with the local choir. After much searching, Ivor finally acquires a set of new whistles, allowing him to play more than just a single note. The excitement builds as Ivor tries out his new whistles, each producing a different sound.

When unexpected debris from outer space floats around their peaceful planet, the Clangers explore these strange arrivals with curiosity and wonder. Having trouble fishing, Major Clanger aims to build a boat fit to fish in space. As he tries to launch his boat made from scraps, it barely pops off the ground. To help her father, Tiny talks to the Music Trees about the situation. They graciously give Tiny some of their notes to create a music wheel. After the Clangers attach the new wheel to the boat, it begins to soar brilliantly. Now the Clangers can properly fish.
