Bag Books stories are told through voice and emotion rather than words and pictures and each page comprises a different sensory experience. Here is Charlie, aged ten enjoying the ghost train page in The Fairground.

A Day at the Seaside

A Day at the Seaside
Each Bag Book is handmade in a workshop by a team of skilled craft artists and volunteers and takes an average of seven hours to make. Pictured are the pages that make up one of the most popular stories, A Day at the Seaside, featured in the Appeal.
