I have been looking for this for years. Thank you.

[@MysticalMagpie-wo5fn]

Glad to have helped. I've got two versions of 'Weirdstone' on the channel too, plus Elidor and The Owl Service...

Good escapism from daily life thanks for the recommendation

Fantastic! I loved this book as a child. Well done! A nice approach, although maybe the elf shouldn't have such a deep voice? Great work.

I can't claim it as my work, sadly - all credit to the BBC. I've also got an adaptation of the previous book, 'The Weirdstone of Brisingamen' on the channel, as well as a documentary about Alan Garner and his inspirations. I think perhaps the Elf having the deep voice taps into a different tradition of what the faerie folk are like - these days we're used to the sort of post-Tolkien concept of them as all being lightness and delicacy, but I think originally in folklore there was a lot more menace to them...

Living where she does, she should’ve known not to go near a black horse. The Brollachan is just one of the many malevolent water spirits in Britain.
(Laith Wolf is a wonderful story teller of the legends of Scotland here on YT, but there are similar legends all over Great Britain.)
