• Synopsis

  In this fantasy MacMahon creates a world around the valley of Glensharon. The valley is under threat of an evil spell that may be cast upon it at any time by a stranger. Emerging from the mist come a visionary, a failed priest, a magician of the mysterious, two village nitwits and a sex famished spinster. Religious superstition battles it out with the imaginative past of a bygone time in this tale of wonder.
