Like Ned, Robert was once an outsider who moved to Cornwall Coombe at the behest of his wife Maggie, who was born in the village. Ned befriends Robert Dodd, a former college professor, who is now blind and largely homebound.
The most important festival is " Harvest Home", which takes place once every seven years. As one says, "we don't mess with other folks and we expect them not to mess with us." The villagers celebrate a number of festivals that revolve around the cultivation of corn. Ned Constantine, his wife Bethany ("Beth"), and their daughter Kate relocate from New York City to an isolated Connecticut village, Cornwall Coombe, where the villagers adhere to "the old ways", eschewing modern agricultural methods and having extremely limited contact with the outside world. For some reason, the name of the protagonist was changed from Ned Constantine to Nick Constantine. The mini-series was generally quite faithful to the plot of the book. A New York Times bestseller, the book became an NBC mini-series in 1978 titled The Dark Secret of Harvest Home, which starred Bette Davis (as Mary Fortune) and David Ackroyd (as Nick Constantine). Harvest Home is a 1973 folk horror novel by American writer Thomas Tryon.
