First published in 1885, 'Huckleberry Finn' is one of the undoubted masterpieces of American literature.

'Cordially hated and dreaded by all the mothers of the town because he was idle, and lawless, vulgar, and bad – and because all their children admired him so', Huckleberry Finn, the fourteen-year-old son of the town drunkard, joins runaway slave Jim on an exciting journey down the mighty Mississippi River on a raft.

"It's the best book we've had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since."
ERNEST HEMINGWAY

Clive Merrison and Michael Williams star as Holmes and Watson in the first collection of stories from the unique fully dramatised BBC Radio 4 canon

A Scandal in Bohemia - The King of Bohemia seeks the return of a compromising photograph but the woman who has it proves more than a match for the great detective.

The Red-Headed League - Holmes and Doyle move into top gear in one of the finest stories in the canon. Why should a pawnbroker have to copy out the Encyclopaedia Britannica and what bearing can the knees of a man's trousers have on the case?

A Case of Identity - A squalid little story of greed, and a solid piece of professional work on Holmes' part in finding out why a City cashier should ditch his love on their wedding day.

The Boscombe Valley Mystery - Another dazzler with Holmes needing all his powers to solve a splendid murder case with Australian connections.

Mark Twain's classic tale recounts the adventures of the ever resourceful Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn in the little town of St Petersburg, Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi.

A story of robbers, graveyards at midnight, buried treasure, and a deep and mysterious cave, 'Tom Sawyer' has lost none of its power to enthral and delight since it was first published in 1876.

A fresh vision of Britain's greatest story:

The epic of King Arthur-from his conception in sorcerous lust, to the shining wonder of his kingdom, to the scattering of his warriors in search of the Grail, to the tragic endgame of betrayal and bloodshed - all encompassed by the secret cave where Arthur still sleeps, waiting to return.

A magical blend of spoken word and music brings alive "The Matter of Britain" - the story of King Arthur and the Quest for The Grail, drawing on earlier sources than the well-known medieval versions - the Celtic Arthur depicted in the Welsh Cycle The Mabinogion being more darker and dynamic. Follow him as he harrows the Underworld to bring back the fabled Cauldron of Plenty - and how he suffers the consequences.


Fire Springs came into existence in 2000 through Bath Storytelling Circle and performances in Bath Fringe and the Bardic Festival of Bath.

Arthur's Dream premiered at the Rondo Theatre, Bath in May 2001.

Other Fire Springs product ions include The Thinning Veil, Finding the Thread, and Robin of the Wildwood.

The magic of ballet is evoked in these enchanting stories presented with many musical excerpts from the works themselves. The stories of two French ballets - Giselle and Coppelia - and the three great ballets by Tchaikovsky are presented in engaging style by Jenny Agutter, who was herself a dancer before turning to acting.

These are tales of princes and princesses, of good fairies and bad witches, and, in Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, the brave soldier and Clara - but does it happen, or is it a dream?

And there is the music - the lovely melody from Swan Lake, the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the waltzes and the richly atmospheric passages painting, in sound, castles, forests, mists and lakes.
