Audio books by Wilbur Smith. Wilbur Smith grew up with a mother whose interests included novels of escapade and excitement, which piqued his interest; his father dissuaded him from pursuing writing however and advised him to get established in a more mainstream profession.
Educated at Cordwalles Preparatory School, Michaelhouse in Natal and Rhodes University, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, he became a journalist, writing about social conditions in South Africa, but his father’s advice to “Get a real job” prompted him to resentfully become a tax accountant. He married at the age of twenty-four, though it ended in divorce.
He published his first novel, When the Lion Feeds in 1964, written while he worked for Salisbury Inland Revenue, the book gained a film deal and its success encouraged him to become a full-time writer. He states that Africa is his major inspiration, and currently he has over 30 novels published. Smith now lives in London, but avows an abiding concern for the peoples and wildlife of his native continent.

With audio books, "reading" can be done whilst driving, ironing, cooking, jogging. In fact just about at any time. Revisit some classics - Jane Eyre. Or listen to the latest Clive Cussler.
For children, audio books are a way to get children loving books from an early age. It is well known that children that read do better at school. When studying for GCSEs, many parents have realised how much listening to Of Mice and Men or To Kill a Mockingbird audio books can help in exam preparation.
Of course people with visual impairment derive huge pleasure from audio books, but so too do people who do a large amount of travelling. Particularly drivers who cover large distances. Reading is of course not an option!
