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.
