Slow to settle down, but a high energy fantasy after that with some very powerful scenes. A widower of a few years, Farris brings his three daughters to stay with him while he renovates the stained glass of an old church. The nasty past is bound up in the glass but is released by young Sprog who makes friends with 'Mr Damp' and his toad companions and is almost sacrificed by them in the chilling and dramatic ending.
