Larry the Lamb was created by artist Sydney George Hulme Beaman as one of a series of carved wooden toy figures that later starred in Toytown, a series of books beginning with The Road to Toytown in 1925. The books were adapted to the radio in 1929, where the stuttering character of Larry the Lamb and his best friend, Dennis the Dachsund, swiftly became favourites of listeners as their innocent misadventures caused consternation amongst other Toytown residents.
