The Children Of Green Knowe by Lucy Boston. It's all warm and snuggly.
The Box Of Delights by John Masefield. It's got magic, evil villains, snowstorms and scrobbled bishops desperate to get back to their cathedrals in time for Midnight Mass.
In both of these cases: mid-80s BBC Tv adapatations are a natural plus-point.

what was that other john masefield one? the midnight folk? that rocked, too.
i only have v faint memories of the tv adaptation of the box of delights (and of the book, for that matter); a tramp in a tunnel somewhere? classic, anyway.
