Imps of Willow Dell - Adventures in Time

Plot

Three people vanish without a trace in a sleepy little farm community; legend has it that they were taken by the Devil.

A haunted hill, a deserted ruin, and three children with vivid imaginations connive to create a fun and a fear-filled adventure that no one will forget. The Devil snatches Sonyi and the boys move heaven and lots of earth to find her.
