What kid of the 1980s could forget Willo the Wisp? A series of five-minute BBC cartoons written by Kenneth Williams, and which brought together a motley crew of characters including Evil Edna, a witch shaped like a TV, fun-loving fairy Mavis, weird pink sausage dog The Moog,and The Argonauts, strange alien creatures which flew around In a mushroom. Oh and let’s not forget the eponymous hero Willo, a blue sprite made out of a particularly poisonous-looking gas.
These small format books were spin-offs from the series and flew off the WH Smith’s shelves like psychedelic hot cakes.
