One of the most popular groups of books in the UK these days is the Horrid Henry series by Francesca Simon which falls under the category of kid's books. The series consists of 18 books and concerns itself with a mean kid who is always getting into mischief. The stories are quite humorous and have proven to be quite the hit with both children and grownups alike. Ms. Simon's great sense of humor coupled with Miranda Richardson's wonderful narration bring this truly "horrid" character to life.
Another very popular series of audio books is the Lord of the Rings trilogy of fantasy novels. These beloved stories were written by J. R. R. Tolkien and the series consists of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. These three books have been favorites worldwide for quite some time. Literary works so magnificent such as these truly lend themselves to the spoken word format. The professional narration you encounter in the recorded versions breathe life into the characters and stories. In addition there are many different recorded versions of each book available in a variety of narration styles ranging ...
... from single narrators to groups of actors.
Our final featured collection of audiobooks is The Wheel of Time saga from the pen of critically acclaimed author Robert Jordan. This series consists of 12 stories with a couple more yet to be offered for sale. This now classic collection of books finds inspiration in European and Asian mythology. One of the primary concepts of the storyline in the series is the cyclical nature of time, a principle frequently encountered in some Eastern philosophies like Buddhism and Hinduism. In addition the books are also inspired by a love of nature and also the concept of balance in the universe. The audiobooks truly do justice to this spellbinding saga and the masterful narration by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading is truly engaging throughout. They truly are top selling audio books in the UK for good reason!
