The Magickal Folk Of The Faraway Tree

The Magickal Folk are now on myspace.

We have had no direct contact with the Magickal Folk but have received dispatches from their quest. For the past few months a stone tape has appeared in the hollowed bough of an old lightning-blasted elm at the edge of the deserted village. It would appear that the task of bringing this magickal music into the present has been entrusted to us. We have toiled endlessly to convert these elfin etchings into ones and zeros so that you can hear them.
