Which Eric recording should you buy?
A short Discworld novel, so even the complete recording is short — which is exactly why the abridged one is easy to mistake for the book.

Terry Pratchett · 2 Audible UK recordings compared
Short answer
Colin Morgan. Eric is a short book to begin with, so the gap between the two listings looks small — but Audible's own listing data marks his recording unabridged and the Tony Robinson one abridged. Morgan reads the Rincewind novels in the current set.
The recordings, compared
| Narrator | Length | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colin Morgan, with Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz Our pick | 3 hrs 58 mins | Unabridged | The current recording, complete — short because the book is. Audible's description says Bill Nighy reads the footnotes and Peter Serafinowicz is the voice of Death. |
| Tony Robinson | 2 hrs 56 mins | Abridged | Marked abridged in Audible's listing data; the description does not say so either way. |
The recording we recommend is also on Audiobooks.com — the same Colin Morgan reading, listed at 3 hrs 59 mins when we checked on 21 October 2026. Their one-credit plan is listed at £7.99 a month before applicable taxes, and its credits expire after three months — the two models compared. We earn a commission on that link.
