Critics' Reviews

The Thompson family starts a new life in the country, but soon learn that the nearby woods lead to magical lands. Their youngest sister Fran blossoms in the new environment, especially after an encounter with a fairy, Nicola Coughlan’s perfectly pitched Silky. Their new home is on the edge of an enchanted wood where a gigantic magical tree houses extraordinary characters and provides a portal to adorable worlds as they float past. Led by Fran, the kids visit lands filled with sweets, birthday cakes and other delights, shepherded by an eccentric band including Silky, Nonso Anozie’s rather pompous Moonface, and Saucepan Man, a bloke dressed entirely in kitchenware.
