Hide AdMike’s latest collection started out as fantastical bedtime tales he told to his own children, and later illustrated. The pictures – full of quirky characters and off-beat comedy – were such a success publishing them as jigsaw puzzles seemed natural.
Now, All Jigsaw Puzzles Limited is publishing five all-new Mike Jupp jigsaw puzzles, alongside an updated classic.
Four of the new puzzles have been lovingly dubbed ‘the Wormberry Jam Collection’ and tell a range of adorable tales, including ‘Priiscilla Pickle’, about a spoilt hedgehog who isn’t allowed to go to Wormberry Jam picking because she hasn’t tidied her bedroom.
‘Rubin and the Fog King’, meanwhile, depicts Rubin Drabfeather’s attack on on the evil Fog King, who wants to keep an eternal winter. ‘Grymnit and the Teddy Bear Tree’ tells of the evil Grymnitt who discovers the very special teddy bear tree and looks to chop it down.

Following an ‘abundance’ of requests from social media, Mike Jupp has also released an updated version of his popular classic ‘someone to watch over us’.
The final new puzzle, inspired by the Oscar Wilde “The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable”, depicts a mother fox returning home, a huntsman trapped in her jaws.
Mr Jupp said that, despite the fantastic subject matter, ‘there’s a little bit of Bognor’ in all his pictures and looks forward to seeing this latest collection on dining room tables and shop shelves all over the country.
