Full review
The adventures of Dougal is allegedly for children, but don’t believe it, as only adults will fully appreciate the humour and wit of this book. This was originally brought out as three books in the 70’s (I still have the originals) and they gather together what I think optimises the Magic Roundabout and that is Eric Thompson’s narrative. The stories in the book are not lifted from the scripts of the Magic Roundabout programs, but have been specially written for these books, but they still have the strange and offbeat slant that the programs had. My favourite of the "three books" is about when Dougal and the others decide that they will be going on a holiday round the world on a magic carpet “driven” by an Arab with a broad Lancashire accent. Not your normal story, but it was never your normal TV series.
