The annals of movie history are full of lost treasures - spectacular scripts from world-renowned writers that could have been classics, had they only been made. Now, for the first time, some of these forgotten gems have been brought to life, fully realised as vivid, cinematic radio productions.

Her powers can make the elements change...but Elena will never change how the Fae see her. Half-breed. The lowest of low. Halven, the forbidden offspring produced by the mating of a Fae and a human. The only thing Fae despise more than Halven—well, nothing. When a deadly virus sweeps their world, killing immortal Fae, a secret about a royal bloodline is revealed. The half-breed holds the key to their survival.

They can never be together. The notion is laughable. Humans are inferior, a scourge on the Fae and on the magic passed down to them by angels millennia ago. And if Keen finds himself drawn to the tiny human female, he keeps it to himself. He won't add to the half-breed problem that threatens his people's existence.

A new adaptation of L. P. Hartley's story of a boy who is betrayed by a sophisticated young rich woman and her farmer lover who use him to ferry letters back and forth in the blazing summer of 1900 - with Richard Griffiths and Harriet Walter.

But on re-reading the book, adaptor Frances Byrnes found within it another drama perfect for audio in which an old man finds a boyhood diary and is forced to unlock the trauma inside.

All human foibles can be found in these classic short stories. Great stories, simply told with fresh voices. Shortalk - moving words off the page.
