The audiobook of The Colour of Magic is read by Colin Morgan (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination....'

Somewhere between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a magical world not totally unlike our own. Except for the fact that it travels through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who in turn stand on the shell of an astronomically huge star turtle, of course.

Rincewind is the world's worst wizard who has just been handed a very important job: to look after the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, their journey across the Disc includes facing robbers, monsters, mercenaries, and Death himself.

And the whole thing's just a game of the gods that might send them over the edge....

You can listen to the Discworld novels in any order, but The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series. The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Discworld series and was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett, read by Colin Morgan, Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz

It’s A Little Baby Song - Julia Donaldson

An  extract from the audiobook edition of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief. Read by the actor Jesse Bernstein.

About the book:
Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends, and generally trying to stay alive. 

This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. 

Can Percy find the lightning bolt before a fully-fledged war of the Gods erupts?

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne, read by Stephen Hogan.

Cyril Avery is not a real Avery or at least that’s what his adoptive parents tell him. And he never will be. But if he isn’t a real Avery, then who is he?

Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead.

At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from – and over his three score years and ten, will struggle to discover an identity, a home, a country and much more.

In this, Boyne's most transcendent work to date, we are shown the story of Ireland from the 1940s to today through the eyes of one ordinary man. The Heart's Invisible Furies is a novel to make you laugh and cry while reminding us all of the redemptive power of the human spirit.

The Hearts Invisible Furies by John Boyne (audiobook extract) read by Stephen Hogan

One hot August day a family drives to a mountain clearing to collect birch wood. Jenny, the mother, is in charge of lopping any small limbs off the logs with a hatchet. Wade, the father, does the stacking. The two daughters, June and May, aged nine and six, drink lemonade, swat away horseflies, bicker, sing snatches of songs as they while away the time.

But then something unimaginably shocking happens, an act so extreme it will scatter the family in every different direction.

In a story told from multiple perspectives and in razor-sharp prose, we gradually learn more about this act, and the way its violence, love and memory reverberate through the life of every character in Idaho.

FIVE FEET APART Audiobook Excerpt

a parody of "Bohemian Rhapsody"
silly lyrics & production by D.B. Patterson
vocal performance by Lamby

Is this a Lamb's life? 
Is this his destiny?
Tucked in the nightstand
When he left Kash-n-Karry
Can't open his eye. 
He's sleeping inside a dream...
I'm just a small Lamb. 
This is not the best of me
So I'm dreaming of when I go, 
Not too long now I know.
Sleeping in a drawer closed, 
Dreaming only matters to me.
Lamby...

Papa, you took home a Lamb 
When you put me on the bed
Dumb dog came and ate my head 
Blinded with my stuffing gone
Bad dog chewed a big hole in my face
Papa, should've known the dog would try
She took me from the bed and found a place
Carried me to her secret space 
Where chewing only matters...

Too late, when you came home
I was waiting by the door
A dog spit puddle on the floor
You put this little Lamby into the drawer
Until the morning I woke up to sneeze & see
Papa, you-you put a blue cap in my eye 
To match my pair of Lambpants, 
Cuffs and all...

I see a little silluetto of a Lamb.
Scary Goose, Scary Goose, 
Will you do the Lamb-Dango?
Choppa-choppas frightening
Gnomes are always fighting me!
Galileo! And Scot Baio!
Hold the lettuce and the mayo
Hot potato in a robe! Ridiculous!

I'm just a cute Lamb, everybody loves me
He's just a cute Lamb from Kash-n-Karry
Blue pants and eye and red dragon Jonesy
Crazy talk, moonwalk, will you let me go?
Ben Stiller! Gnome, he will not let you go! 
Let him go! Ben Stiller! 
He will not let you go! 
Let him go! Ben Stiller! 
He will not let you go! 
Let him go! Will not let you go! 
Let him go! Will not let you go! 
Let him go!

Gnome-gnome-gnome, 
gnome, gnome, gnome, 
gnome, gnome, gnome!
Oh, mama mia, mama mia! 
Mama mia, let me go!
My Papa got a blue 
Dasani bottle cap for me...
For me, for me, Lamb-ME!

So you think you can chew me 
and swallow my eyes?
Don't you think I might bake you 
in one of my pies?
Dog, baby, hope that you get some rabies!
Or maybe the gout! 
I'm getting myself outta here.

All that really matters, now that I can see,
All that really matters...
A after Dad and family is Love & Fleece...
Never pick a Lamb's nose.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" Queen Song Parody | Rock, Pop, R&B Music for Kids, Lamby

"Have Yourself a Merry Lamby Christmas Cow"
As sung by Lamby Lambpants

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on, our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas
COW...
