Gurney Slade

In a ruined church in the woods, Gurney tells a gang of children a story about a magic tinker from Gurneyland – a wonderful place that exists in everyone’s minds. After being joined by a couple from a nearby wedding party, Gurney and the kids are surprised when a real tinker turns up; the tinker performs some magic tricks – and then everyone disappears, leaving Gurney all alone. Realising that they have gone to his own Gurneyland, Gurney must now journey inside his own mind to get them all back…
