STUDENTS in particular. You can now purchase I`M THE KING OF THE CASTLE and THE WOMAN IN BLACK for download onto your i-pod. They are available from audible.co.uk and any moment now there will be a direct link to click from both of my websites which will take you straight to the site. I have been asked for these so many times over the last year and here they are. Both books are well read by Paul Ansdell and I think listening to them, especially for those students who do find it difficult to take everything in from the text itself, is very helpful. When I was doing A levels I had a tape recorder and taped myself reading a lot of my set poetry and some key chapters of novels and by listening often, as well as reading, I found it especially helped me to remember quotations and to imprint things deeply onto my mind - so much so that I can still remember quite a lot of it ! This is not just a case of me trying to make money by selling you things - I will make a tiny bit of course. It will go to pay for the upkeep of the website. I do think it will help a lot of students doing the books. Listening is not a substitute for reading, it`s an extra. But for dyslexic students in particular listening will be especially useful and it was the parents of some with dyslexia who first asked if the books could be made available in this way.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK is also available as a CD version - but not I`M THE KING OF THE CASTLE.
