Oakhill Audio Books have some exciting news this month: as one of the major players in the unabridged audio library market, we are joining forces with HarperAudio, the spoken word brand of HarperCollins, to provide an unrivalled programme of unabridged audio. Oakhill will be responsible for the sales of these titles to libraries, whilst all digital and trade sales will be handled by HarperCollins.
This partnership has a considerable number of advantages for all parties – especially librarians! Firstly, we have been able to increase our programme from six to eight titles per month, enabling us to offer an even wider selection of bestselling contemporary writers. Secondly, each month we shall be featuring two HarperCollins titles, adding a wealth of top-selling authors to Oakhill.
Two of this quarter's co-productions are a pair of brilliantly-researched historical adventures – Bernard Cornwell's magnificent Azincourt and the latest of Conn Iggulden's Conqueror series, featuring the tumultuous life of Genghis Khan: Bones of the Hills. Another book to watch out for is Beatrice Colin's The Luminous Life of Lily Aphrodite, a rags to riches story of an orphan girl's transformation to film star in early 20th century Berlin.
Another company with whom Oakhill has developed a close association is Naxos. Widely known for their musical CDs they also have an extensive list of unabridged audio books ranging from Dickens and Shakespeare to Dylan Thomas and Jack London. These have previously only been available to the retail market, but now we are able to offer them to libraries, repackaged in library boxes, and offering free individual lifetime replacement CDs.
To find these and many other outstanding titles, you can browse through our current range or search our complete backlist to see for yourself the quality audio books we produce for libraries throughout the United Kingdom and the world.
