The stories are set in twentieth-century Wales and revolve around a boy named Gwyn Giffiths, who is descended from magicians, although neither parent believes that family lore. Egmont UK's 2003 edition (ISBN 1-4052-1051-6) is paginated separately with counts that match Methuen's first editions and also some reissues in separate volumes (144, 158, and 168 pages). Mammoth paginated 468- and 435-page editions consecutively in 1991 and retained the Carey illustrations. Omnibus editions entitled The Snow Spider Trilogy have been published in Britain. ISFDB does not report any interior artwork. There the novels were published a year or two after their first editions by Dutton Children's Books (an imprint recently acquired by Penguin). In the U.S., Emlyn's Moon was originally titled Orchard of the Crescent Moon (1989, 1990). The novels were first published in hardcover editions by Methuen, the first two with illustrations by Joanna Carey, which were retained at least in early British paperbacks. ISFDB catalogues the series as The Magician Trilogy.
