A massive, never-before-seen treasure trove of Peter Firmin’s art—over 500 original drawings, storyboards, watercolors, and even rare toys—is hitting the auction block, discovered during a family cleanup of his Kent home. The legendary creator of Bagpuss, Basil Brush, The Clangers, and Noggin The Nog (who passed in 2018 at 89) kept every scrap of his creative legacy. His daughter Katy called it an “emotional wrench” but also a chance for fans to reconnect with childhood favorites. The Canterbury Auction Galleries is calling it the largest collection of Firmin’s work ever sold, featuring hand-painted edits and unpublished book drafts. Plus, the family is donating the original Bagpuss and The Clangers puppets to a museum. Auction dates: July 31–August 1.
