Enjoy an unabridged audiobook, serialised over a number of days and weeks, only on RNIB Connect Radio or listen again to every episode here. Our current book is special recording of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for Talking Book's 90th anniversary.
To commemorate this milestone, we’ve joined forces with some famous faces and voices for a special recording of Jane Austen’s classic romantic novel, Pride and Prejudice.
This recording brings to life Austen’s renowned characters with the likes of Bridgerton's Adjoa Andoh, Ted Lasso’s Phil Dunster, Heartstopper’s Corinna Brown and Celebrity Traitors’ Mark Bonnar.
Actress Lucy Scott, who is one of RNIB’s longest standing Talking Book narrators, and played Charlotte Lucas in the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, also stepped back into the world of Austen’s characters for the recording.
The Lord Fellowes of West Stafford, RNIB’s Vice President and President of Talking Books provides a foreword and kindly reads one of the chapters.
This book runs for 15 episodes until the 16th of March.
