These stories are about how, many years ago, Arthur, the once and future King of England, set out to save his country from the troubles that plagued it, aided by the brave knights of his Round Table, and the most famous sword in the world, Excalibur. How Merlin the Wizard fought against the wicked Morgana le Fay's enchantments, and how Arthur loved and lost the beautiful Guinevere, his Queen. There are still some places in Britain, hidden away, that are beyond the reach of time. On certain days, at certain times of the year, they can be found. But you have to know where to look unless you come across them by chance, which can happen. At first there seems nothing remarkable about them: the entrance might be a hollow tree or a sea cave, perhaps a dark mountain lake. But if you climbed inside the hollow tree, or tried to find the end of the sea cave, or stared into the cold mountain water too long, you might find more than you expected to find. Because in one such place beyond the reach of time, deep in a hillside, sleeps Arthur, King of England. He sleeps in shining armour on a bed of stone, waiting for the call to save his country in its hour of greatest need. With him there sits an old man, Merlin the Wise, protecting Arthur with his enchantment, until that day comes. Sean Bean is known for his major roles in films such as Goldeneye, When Saturday Comes, Patriot Games and Anna Karenina, and for his TV roles in the Sharpe series, Lady Chatterley, Clarissa and A Woman's Guide to Adultery. His theatre credits include Romeo and Juliet and Fair Maid of the West for the RSC.

* The Fall of the House of Usher * The Pit and the Pendulum * The Tell-Tale Heart * The Masque of the Red Death * Ligeia * The Raven * The Cask of Amontillado * The Black Cat * The Premature Burial * The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar The ten selections represented in this recording pursue similar themes of death, ghostly reappearance, being buried alive and other forms of mental and physical torture. They remain curiously effective even in the 21st century, when it could be presumed that the excessive style would lose its power to shock or move -- in the manner of an ornate Victorian graveyard. Yet The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, and even Ligeia create shivers long after the concluding lines have been heard; there are the images of premature burial, of the swinging pendulum, of the accusing black cat. But more than all this, the power lies in the way the atmosphere and the horror linger in the mind, half touching reality. Although he lived a short and tragic life, Poe remains today one of the most-beloved mystery writers in history. His contributions to literature and the mystery genre cannot be underestimated and will continue to command a key place in the development of horror in Western literature. William Roberts has appeared extensively in TV, film, and theater, varying from The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and Navy Seals to Martin Chuzzlewit and A View to Kill. He is also a familiar voice on radio and audiobooks, with numerous dramas and books to his credit. He has also read Classic American Short Stories for Naxos AudioBooks.
