Have found a free site for Audiobooks

Have just dowloaded . The Land of the Broads by Ernest Richard Suffling

It's a broads handbook written in 1886-7 and is a fantastic listen about how the broads were in the latter stages of the 19th century.

There are another couple of broads books on there. quite a lot of the old fiction books too.

All of the books are  out of copyright and are read by volunteers.

You can volunteer to record books yourself if you are looking for something to doto while away those long winter nights

if you read ebooks, there is project gutenberg.org, all sorts of out of copyright books for reading there. (they can be imported into the kindle format) https://www.gutenberg.org/

Thanks to both for the links.

There are works that are so much better in Audio Format. I suppose most famous of which is Dylan Thomas "Under Milk Wood" which is nearly impossible to appreciate if just read.

never a truer word said. The Richard Burton recording really brings to life a work which otherwise is quite difficult to engage with.
