At Oakhill Audio Books we are continuing to reap the benefits of our co-production venture with HarperAudio, the spoken word brand of HarperCollins.

Some excellent news is that we are now in a position to increase the number of HarperCollins titles we publish to three or more each month, adding hugely to the quality of Oakhill's list. We shall still publish eight titles per month, guaranteeing libraries an excellent choice of today's bestselling writers.

Josephine Cox has long been a favourite with library users everywhere, so her latest novel, Blood Brothers, about a family torn apart by sibling rivalry should prove a runaway success. Costa First Novel Award-winning writer Sadie Jones returns to our list with her new novel, Small Wars, a thoughtful account of the tensions faced by a soldier and his family posted to Cyprus during the Emergency. The late Michael Crichton is probably best known for Jurassic Park, but with Pirate Latitudes, published posthumously, he turns his attention to the seafaring exploits of one Captain Charles Hunter.

Oakhill are continuing their close association with Naxos, another unabridged audio publisher better known for their music CDs. While Oakhill's emphasis is firmly on contemporary works, Naxos has an outstanding reputation for the classics. One such is Charles Dickens most enduring creation, The Old Curiosity Shop, the moving story of Little Nell. This year sees the centenary of the death of Leo Tolstoy and to commemorate this, a Naxos library edition of Anna Karenina has been issued on 21 discs, along with his lesser-known work, The Cossacks.

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.
