This is the unique original Gouache painting by Gordon Hutchings.
These stories appeared in the short-lived children's pre-school title TV Toyland which was published between 1966-67 before being merged with the more well known Playhour.
Num Num and his funny friends bring the seaside to their home with a swimming pool in the garden. The artwork probably dates from the late 1960's but has been remounted for a later, probably mid-1970s reprint.

Gordon Hutchings took over the long-running Gulliver Guinea-Pig strip from Philip Mendoza around 1961 and his crisp charming work appeared in Playhour and later the Teddy Bear Annual.
