Many of you will fondly remember the popular Ladybird/Pickwick children’s book and accompanying cassette series, more commonly referred to as the Tell-A-Tale series. Originally produced in the 1980’s, this series never enjoyed CD distribution or was ever commercially digitised despite the changing media landscape.

The Ladybird Pickwick Project is an initiative aimed at the conservation of these recordings so that they may be preserved for future generations. Our ultimate aim is the digitisation of the entire Tell-A-Tale series.  In addition, we aim to digitally remaster the collection in an effort to maximise the audio quality of those original recordings.

In presenting this website, we hope to facilitate a community platform which strives in collaboration to preserve, digitise and share these treasured stories before they are lost to time.

 

We especially invite you to our forums, where we welcome queries and discussion about the series, fond memories, digital story requests and downloads links.

 

We also offer a reference point for the Tell-A-Tale series as a whole, including it's historical background as well as a unique and exclusive interview we held with one of the producers of the series.
