Purnell were prolific publishers of children's books and created several 'series' of books across a few children's television shows and Disney films. One such series was the "Tell me A Story" book series, comprising of small square paperback books (12 x 12 cm) with 32 pages in each.

This gallery highlights those I know about or are in my collection and are featured in other galleries on my site. The gallery below, which is intended as an aid to collectors of Purnell "Tell me a Story" books, is in series alphabetical order. If anyone knows of any titles or series I've missed, please email me.
