. Two distinguishing features of the audio cassettes were the "Story Teller" jingle that introduced and ended each tape and the characteristic "ping" that sounded when the time came to turn the pages to encourage children to read along. The "Story Teller" jingle is an existing track called "Children's Carnival" by Ted Atking and Alain Feanch.Cyberhops posted the theme at YouTube, under the title

 Longer stories were split over multiple issues to encourage parents to buy the next issue. These were referred to as ''Story Teller'' Serials. As one serial came to end, another would start. Many of these would be simple two-part stories, but a selection of stories (usually well-known ones such as ''

'' was the longest serial, with seven installments. The original collection was 26 issues long with each tape lasting up to 45 minutes. An exception was issue 26, which was 90 minutes long because it also contained the special preview issue for ''Story Teller 2'', which immediately followed the original series. (The New Zealand and Australian ''Story Time'' only ran for 1 series, so the final Issue 26 was the standard 45 minutes long and did not feature the special preview for the next series. This was the sole difference between its UK counterpart; the cassettes and artwork were otherwise identical. Similarly, the cassette carry case was available in Australia. However, in New Zealand, a smaller box was provided, made out of cardboard wrapped in a red plastic with small domes at the corners joining it all together and a piece of

''Storyteller 2''

''Story Teller 2'', which was previewed in issue 26 of the original ''Story Teller'' series in the UK, continued the tradition of the original by combining traditional and contemporary children's stories. (In New Zealand and Australia, ''Story Time'' only ran for 1 series.)


''Little Story Teller''

When ''Story Teller 2'' ended, Marshall Cavendish followed it up with another 26-part series, ''Little Story Teller'', which, as its title suggests, was aimed at a younger audience than the original series. Many of the stories in ''Little Story Teller'' featured the adventures of the inhabitants of the Magic Mountain, which included Leroy the Lion, Dotty the Dragon, and Morris and Doris the hamsters.


Christmas specials

specials were also published. Released annually along with each series, the ''Christmas Story Tellers'' featured festive stories and even songs. The third ''Christmas Story Teller'' included stories suited to both the original series and ''Little Story Teller''. Of the Christmas specials only ''Christmas Story 2'' was made available in New Zealand or Australia, under the title of ''Christmas Story Time''.


''Story Teller Song Book''

''Christmas Story 3'' was widely assumed to be the last title from the ''Story Teller'' series but in 1986, Marshall Cavendish released the ''Story Teller Song Book''. The 52-page publication contained 20 all-time sing-along favourites rather than stories but it still retained the ''Story Teller'' tradition of featuring colouring and activity pages as well as an accompanying cassette tape.


''My Big Book of Fairy Tales''

In 1987, Marshall Cavendish revisited the world of ''Story Teller'' by publishing a big hardback book called ''My Big Book of Fairy Tales''. Although the publication lacked the ''Story Teller'' branding, it was essentially a compilation of the best stories from ''Story Teller''; it contained 73 stories from the two series and three Christmas issues. The original text and illustrations were used, except for the story "

", which featured new artwork (for no apparent reason). The book was rereleased in 1989 with a different cover and again in 1994. Unlike the partwork, ''My Big Book of Fairy Tales'' was not accompanied by a cassette.

Published online in December 2020, this was a special edition of Story Teller, created by members of the Story Teller Facebook Group and some of the original writers and artists of the original Story Teller. It is available online a
