Elrik Merlin presents two selections from the work of
English novelist Alan Garner: the Arthurian fantasy Tarn Wethelan, and The

Caledonia Skytower presents M.R. James' 1925 short story A

across one of the three lost crowns of Anglia ,
which legendarily protect the country from invasion. Upon digging the crown up,
Paxton is stalked by its supernatural guardian.
