January 2012 at Naxos AudioBooks

Hello, and Happy New Year! We hope you enjoyed our Christmas listening suggestions, and are ready for some exciting new 2012 releases. This is an important year for publishers everywhere, as it’s the bicentenary of Charles Dickens’s birth. To celebrate, many Dickens treats await you!

The first of our three January new releases is the unabridged Nicholas Nickleby, read by David Horovitch. Packed with memorable characters and inspired comic moments, Nicholas Nickleby was Dickens’s third novel. It was a huge success, establishing Dickens as the finest English novelist. David Horovitch’s reading does full justice to the novel: his interpretation of Nicholas’s cruel-hearted uncle Ralph is a particular highlight.

We are also releasing the first in a new ‘Retold’ series: Oliver Twist: Retold for younger listeners, an abridged version of Dickens’s classic. Roy McMillan has drawn on his extensive experience as a reader, producer and abridger, combining an abridged version of the novel with slight alterations and explanations to make it accessible for junior listeners. The story of Oliver’s eventful childhood and his subsequent encounter with the dark heart of London is a must-listen. Read by Jonathan Keeble.

Finally, we have the third in Sapper’s Bulldog Drummond series for you, The Third Round. Perhaps the most gripping yet, The Third Round once again sees Bulldog Drummond up against peerless villain Carl Petersen, after the discovery of a perfect diamond-making method leads to a ruthless kidnapping.
