Audiobooks narrated by Alex Jennings

Reads The Horse and His Boy on the Narnia single-reader set, and a long run of fiction and biography besides — Nicholas Nickleby entire, Kate Atkinson, Susan Cooper, Jeffrey Archer's Clifton Chronicles. Watch the type column: his Day of the Triffids is an abridgement, and his le Carré credits are parts in the BBC dramatisations, not readings — the Tinker Tailor reading is Simon Russell Beale's.
