magical beautiful children's TV series

ahh...in the nostalgia of my childhood there are several Television series that stood out for me, this one however has got to be one of my favourites along with archers goon, chronicles of Narnia, cities of gold and Tom's midnight garden.

One of the superior influx of children's dramas made in the late 80's early 90's, the snow spider was based on the book by Jenny Nimmo and was part of a trilogy also combining Emlyn's moon and the Chestnut soldier.

made by a welsh company, it was an amazing magical programme that shows it's quality by the fact that Sian Phillips even starred it in. Superior to most adult drama's these days, the theme tune always sent a shiver down my spine.
