The way the film is made is incredible. Although it was released in 1982, the film has the charm, feel and humour of a musical released in the 1950s or 60s, which is makes it feel that much more special.
The casting is superb, including legends Tim Curry, Carol Burnett, and last but not least the spectacular Albert Finney. Obviously I must mention Aileen Quinn, who put on an outstanding performance as the beloved orphan, Annie.
Finally, the music is great, ranging from silly drunken tunes from Carol Burnett, to Annie's emotional tunes such as "Tomorrow", which when seen on screen adds a whole new layer of emotion to the song.
Overall, an almost perfect film, perfect for musical lovers!

Ellis takes a vacation in North Wales, and finds herself feeling so much at home. Meeting Luke helped, but she had to return to Cardiff. Following dreams of dragons and Merlin, Ellis needs to go back to the vacation spot, and then things really get odd.
I liked this, I liked this a lot!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

It's a wonderful tale of finding yourself, you past, your future and falling in love!
Of course, tales of dragons and Merlin help, but the level of research is exceptionally clear here, with lots and LOTS of Welsh tales, myths and legends told.
The feelings Ellis have for Luke grow and develop over time, and it's really only they are apart that things start to get serious for both Ellis and Luke. The call of Beddgelert, and indeed, of each other on their souls and hearts is too powerful to ignore. Ellis gets back, but it takes a bit longer for Luke to finally admit that he needs to go home.
It's told from Ellis and Luke's point of view, along with a couple of others that need a say. Each voice is clear and different, most pointedly when Luke talks about his past, his knowledge of what he is and what Ellis is to him. Ellis doesn't have that, and she needs to learn it.
There's no drama or danger, aside from discovering that dragons still exist! It's not totally clean, there is love and passion here, but nothing explicit. It's well written and extremely well delivered.
Lots of Welsh names here, and I had no idea how to pronounce them! But it didn't spoil my enjoyment, just made me chuckle trying to read them out loud :-)
A wonderful, delightful, beautifully written love story, set in Wales, with all its myths and legends about dragons. And now I wanna visit Beddgelert, cos it's a real place, and see all the wonderful places that Ellis visits!
