The Golliwog News : a story of three children and a toy newspaper : with supplement

In a sunny countryside nursery, ten‑year‑old Gladys lives a world of bustling imagination with her beloved Golliwog John James, a solemn gentleman doll named Mortimer Max, and a mischievous terrier named Carlo. After a lively birthday party that ends in a few missing buttons and a near‑miss with a toy motor, Gladus discovers that her toys have begun to behave like real people, gathering for secret meetings and publishing their own “Golliwog News.” The children’s playful investigations turn ordinary days into charming episodes of a tiny newsroom, where a doll parliament, a seaside excursion, and a football match all make the headlines of their miniature paper.

Each chapter offers a whimsical vignette—whether it’s a frantic search for a stolen feathered hat or a fantastical journey to Birdland City—while the illustrated supplement lets listeners picture the bustling toy world. The story celebrates the wonder of childhood creativity, the joy of friendship, and the magic that awakens when ordinary objects are given a voice.
