Description
The Children’s Film Foundation approached the popular children’s author, Malcolm Saville, asking him to write a screen play set around Spring Valley Mill on the outskirts of Ardleigh in Essex. The resulting adventure story became very real for the Pettit family whose home was the mill and who were asked to play the leading roles in the film. This must have been every child’s dream come true.
This edition of Treasure at the Mill celebrates fifty years since the film and book were first released. As well as the original unabridged story, this book includes information on the making of the film and some of the Spring Valley Mill’s colourful, non-fictional history.
