10-year-old Finty, feeling unwanted by her single, high-flying business woman mother, is sent to stay with Grandpa Jack, Aunt Josie and cousin Henry in the wilds of the New Forest. Out riding in the woods, she and Henry quarrel, and Finty rides off on her own in a huff. But her pony throws her off, and she's rescued by a strange old man, a snake catcher, who seems to be living wild in the forest.
There's something mysterious and exciting about her new friend, and Finty is determined to keep him a secret from her annoying cousin. She has no idea what this might be, until a chance find in an old graveyard gives her a clue to his identity. Might he be something other than the old man she's taken him for? Something just a little bit magical?
