2. Then Fancies Flee Away
Mankind's hero is forced to help a young lad who has lain in a coma, surrounded by thorns, for seven years. Stars Paul Hilton.
Travelling through Yorkshire, Pilgrim meets Noreen, whose son has been in a strange coma for the past seven years.
He lies in his bed, surrounded by a huge growth of thorns. How can this enchantment be broken?
As Pilgrim investigates, he is drawn inexorably towards the darkness beneath the mysterious Round Barrow of Willy Howe.
Paul Hilton stars as the reluctant and unthanked hero protecting mankind from an enemy they resist believing in.
