When Mary Green and her cousins, William and Alice, spend their Christmas holidays in Wales' Golden Valley it is not long before they encounter the 400-year-old magician Stephen Walker. Stephen asks them to help him save the rare species of badger that populates the valley, they agree, and thus a spell-binding adventure begins.

Brilliant
Excellent series which should be brought out on DVD!! I am transferring this from VHS to DVD having bought the tape specifically to transfer it before I finally part with the video recorder!! They don't make drama series like this anymore!

Not as good as the books. As usual.
I was disappointed with this programme, to some extent. The main story, about the animals, is fine, it's great watching, especially for kids, makes you think of Narnia and things like that, but the under current of the miserable girl and the mum-to-be? Rubbish. Nothing to do with the books at all. The three children are brother and sisters, and they have come to stay with their Uncle and his girlfriend. They explain in the book why they're not married - the book was written in 1990 when it was just becoming acceptable not to be married but still live together. And also, there is absolutely nothing to do with Canada in the books. The books are set on the English-Welsh border, I don't know why everything has to go across the Atlantic to be deemed acceptable these days. I was disappointed, the main point of the story was lost and the rest of it was incorrect.
