Philip Reeve is the Widecombe-based author of Mortal Engines and many other books for children and young adults, (including the Adventuremice series which he writes with the Paradiso’s own Sarah McIntyre). Sarah Reeve has been photographing the Dartmoor landscape for many years. Their low-budget films are made purely for fun, and aim to combine entertaining stories with beautiful images: Prairie Rascals is inspired by classic Westerns, and by the way, that Dartmoor can sometimes look quite a lot like the Wild West.
