The ''Munch Bunch'' is the title of a series of children's books, written by British author Denis Bond (under the pen name ''Giles Reed'') and illustrated by Angela Mitson, a teenager who had created the characters. They were published between 1979 and 1984 by Studio Publications (Ipswich) Ltd. in the United Kingdom and Rourke Publications, Inc. in the United States. The ''Munch Bunch'' are a group of unwanted vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts who were swept to the corner of a shop but ran away together and set up home in and around an old, forgotten garden shed. The Munch Bunch were not dissimilar to The Garden Gang, created by teen author Jayne Fisher between 1979 and 1983 and published by Ladybird Books. ==Television series== There was also an early 1980s marionette/puppet-based television show, produced by long-time Gerry Anderson associates Mary Turner and John Read for ITC Entertainment, that featured the characters from the books. The stories for the television series were different from those contained in the books and were written mainly by Bond (this time under his real name), though other writers such as Rosemary Kingsland also contributed. The characters in the series were voiced by the veteran husband-and-wife team of Judy Bennett and Charles Collingwood, well best known for their work in The Archers. 52 ten-minute editions were produced, thus originally airing between September 1980 and May 1982. *Series 1: 12 editions,first shown from 24 September 1980 *Series 2: 13 editions, first shown from 25 March 1981 *Series 3: 21 editions, first shown from 30 September 1981 *Series 4: 6 editions, first shown from 7 April 1982 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Munch Bunch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
