The Roald Dahl Audio Collection, written and read by Roald Dahl - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett's interview with audiobook producer Rick Harris. Recorded during the making of the audio version of THIS IS THE STORY OF A HAPPY MARRIAGE - which Patchett narrates.

About THIS IS THE STORY OF A HAPPY MARRIAGE:

Blending literature and memoir, Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder and Bel Canto examines her deepest commitments: to writing, family, friends, dogs, books, and her husband in This is the Story of a Happy Marriage. Together these essays, previously published in The Atlantic, Harper's, Vogue, and the Washington Post, form a resonant portrait of a life lived with loyalty and with love.

This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage takes us into the very real world of Ann Patchett's life. Stretching from her childhood to the present day, from a disastrous early marriage to a later happy one, it covers a multitude of topics, including relationships with family and friends, and charts the hard work and joy of writing, and the unexpected thrill of opening a bookstore.

As she shares stories of the people, places, ideals, and art to which she has remained indelibly committed, Ann Patchett brings into focus the large experiences and small moments that have shaped her as a daughter, wife, and writer.

"I took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly before turning around. It was Lucas who stood there. His gaze was penetrating, not wavering for a moment, and my pulse hammered under his silent scrutiny.

Lucas is the stranger who saved Jacqueline from an attack by a fellow student - she'd never noticed him before then, and now he's everywhere.

But can Jacqueline trust him - or will the secrets he's hiding come between them?

Jill Murphy: The Worst Witch To The Rescue (Audiobook extract) Read by Gemma Arterton

The sci-fi genre is filled with stories that look beyond our home on earth to other planets and galaxies which may, or may not, exist.  As a race, we’ve developed an obsession with the idea that there are other living species out there, who want to take over our planet; why we haven’t decided they might be friendly is perhaps a reflection on us. Anyway, extra-terrestrial terror is a theme in hundreds of books, old and new.

Following on from his hugely successful first book, The Fry Chronicles, comes the second chapter in Stephen Fry's life. This extract from the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of More Fool Me is read by Stephen Fry himself. 

Praise for The Fry Chronicles: 

'Heartbreaking, a delight, a lovely, comfy book' The Times

'Perfect prose and excruciating honesty. A grand reminiscence of college and theatre and comedyland in the 1980s, with tone-perfect anecdotes and genuine readerly excitement. What Fry does, essentially, is tell us who he really is. Above all else, a thoughtful book. And namedroppy too, and funny, and marbled with melancholy' Observer
