&quot;IRRESISTIBLE!&quot; --The Boston Globe Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide (&quot;A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have&quot;) and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox--the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years. Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don't forget to bring a towel! &quot;[A] WHIMSICAL ODYSSEY...Characters frolic through the galaxy with infectious joy.&quot; --Publishers Weekly Available for purchase at: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0804191859?tag=pgus-20">Amazon - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?ISBSRC=Y&ISBN=9780804191852&cm_mmc=Random%20House-_The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852-_-The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852-_-The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">Barnes & Noble - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-10876509?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852&url=http://www.booksamillion.com/p/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy/Douglas+Adams/9780804191852">Books A Million - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780804191852?aff=PenguinGroupUS">IndieBound - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/9780804191852?utm_source=randomhouse&utm_campaign=randomhouse&utm_content=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852">Powell's - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=VD9*lkiWNd8&subid=&offerid=183959.1&type=10&tmpid=273&u1=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-ng.do%3F&RD_PARM2=search_query%3D9780804191852%2526ic%3D16_0%2526Find%3DFind%2526search_constraint%3D3920">Walmart - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch?term=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy&entity=audiobook&at=11l3IH&ct=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215">Apple - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?url=http://www.audible.com/search?advsearchKeywords=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy+Douglas+Adams&source_code=COMA0213WS031709&SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215">Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-11117375?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215&url=http://www.audiobooks.com/search/book/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">audiobooks.com - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">downpour - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215&url=http://www.emusic.com/listen/#/search/book/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">eMusic - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a>

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, read by Stephen Fry

Listen to an extract from  the audiobook of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, read by Stephen Fry. 

It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed with the big, friendly words: DON'T PANIC.

The weekend has only just begun . . .

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams, read by Stephen Fry

Anne of Green Gables (1908) is a bestselling novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, a literary classic that has entertained audiences of all age all over the world. It recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, a young orphan girl mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who have a farm on Prince Edward Island, and who had intended to adopt a boy to help them. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school and the town.

Narrated by Vancouver actress Colleen Winton, a Vancouver actor, singer, dancer, director and choreographer...and now a narrator. 

AUDIOFILE MAGAZINE REVIEW:
"Colleen Winton captures the charm of Anne Shirley in this delightful edition for a new generation of listeners. Anne is an orphan who is mistakenly sent to Green Gables farm--and soon wins her way into the hearts of everyone in Avonlea. Winton brings the perfect amount of wide-eyed wonder and spark to Anne. As Anne finds herself in many adventures throughout the story, Winton strikes the right balance between drama and humor. She also excels with a pitch-perfect pensive and stoic Marilla and the quiet and shy Matthew. Her comfortable storytelling pace allows listeners to get lost in Anne's world. With its great production quality and an array of expression and voices from Winton, this is an excellent new version of a beloved classic."
