Series 5 Finale - Audiobooks Special

To wrap up series five, we're doffing our hats to audiobook narrators. First Nina and Matt meander down memory lane, reminiscing about books on tape we listened to in the 1990s. Then we move on to recommend a clutch of excellent narrators:

 

Cecelia Ramsdale, who performed Pog by Padraig Kenny

 

Ben Onwukwe, who we enjoyed reading Ikenga by Nnedi Okorafor

 

Aoife MacMahon, who amongst others has performed Begone the Raggedy Witches by Celine Kiernan

 

David Tennant, with The Wizards of Once series by Cressida Cowell, and others

 

And Malcolm Hamilton, David Almond’s regular audiobook performer it seems, who reads The Boy Who Climbed into the Moon and The Tale of Angelino Brown

 

We crowdsourced this one a little bit - thank you to all who submitted your favourite audiobook narrators! Here are the other recommendations that we got:

Huw Parmenter, reading Cart and Cwidder by Diana Wynne Jones 

 

Alex Jennings, reading The Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper

 

Miriam Margolyes, reading Matilda by Roald Dahl and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by CS Lewis

 

Carl Prekopp, reading the Half Bad series by Sally Green (fyi, this is YA, not kidlit)

 

Simon Russell Beale, reading Children of the Red King, by Jenny Nimmo
