  • dark is rising - help

    Recently my daughter watched a DVD at her mates house with like King Arthur and someone with deer antlers on his head.
    She said is was called The Dark is Rising and I've done a quick search and she was right.

    However I've got a faint ( very faint ) memory of watching something like this on Jackanory way back in the early seventies - anyone know if Dark is Rising was actually shown on that prog and was it the same story?

    As far as I know "The Dark is Rising" film was based on a relatively recent childrens fantasy novel, which I don't think was around in the seventies.
    However, King Arthur and antler hats were not in this film.

      Dark is Rising is a children's Fantasy book by Susan Cooper.
      I read it at school, and it was published in 1973

          The books were most definitely around in the 70's, my teacher in primary school read them to us in that very decade. The series of books was called The Dark is Rising as was the second book. The others were Over Sea, Under Stone; Greenwitch; The Grey King and Silver on the Tree.
