Adaptations

  • Wintersmith is a 2013 album by folk-rock band Steeleye Span, whom Terry was a fan of for many years. The songs are mostly drawn from the story of Wintersmith, but also reference The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky and I Shall Wear Midnight. A “Deluxe” version with additional tracks was released in 2014, as well as a video of the album performed live in concert.
