 These “annuals” were published in time to be purchased as Christmas presents, but after the first volume, were usually simply called “Toby Twirl Adventures”, or something similar, with no mention of “annual” in the title.Hodgetts also wrote four full-length large-format story books, "Toby Twirl in Pogland" (1946), "Toby Twirl Rescues Prince Apricot" (1947), "Toby Twirl and the Mermaid Princess" (1948), and "Toby Twirl and the Magic Ring" (1952).In smaller hard-back format, Hodgetts also wrote eight “Toby Twirl Tales”, from 1949 to 1954, each having two stories.
