Small Prophets is a whimsical delight, the antidote to the general horror in the news. I also get to hear one of my favourite words "Homunculi" multiples times.

#MackenzieCrook
‘Small Prophets’ has quietly taken the world by storm. A whimsy, magical and gentle show providing a tonic to modern life. Its creator, Mackenzie Crook, could arguably described in a similar way.

Flights of fancy Illustration by Mackenzie Crook. The Windvale Sprites by Mackenzie Crook. With illustrations by the author. Faber, 2011. That is when the thought struck him. ‘I’ve found a fairy.’…

A quick reminder that, before The Detectorists and Wurzel Gummidge, #MackenzieCrook had imagined prototypes for #SmallProphets in a 2011 children's story called 'The Windvale Sprites'.

'Somewhere in the bowels of the BBC, far away from the overheated stories of serial killers and female mutilation that clamour for the audience’s attention elsewhere on British telly, there is an oasis of calm. This little patch is the fiefdom of #MackenzieCrook' Helen Hawkins: insight & wit, always

★★★★★ SMALL PROPHETS #BBCTwo - Magic in miniature from #MackenzieCrook, a true original - the writing and directing in this drama series is another quiet piece of genius, says Helen Hawkins www.theartsdesk.com/tv/small-pro...

Mackenzie Crook: Weaving Gentle Spells As Folk Horror’s Modern Gatekeeper For Children - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website Mackenzie Crook: Weaving Gentle Spells as Folk Horror’s Modern Gatekeeper for Children

Remember the accidental eeriness of 70s Rupert Bear? The pure, uncanny dread of Children of the Stones?

Mackenzie Crook is consciously, lovingly gentling that legacy. Our new article argues he's folk horror's modern gateway for kids.
