Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard’s band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all.

Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there were Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve, but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true name (hidden from all he and Dunk encounter) is Aegon Targaryen.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

A Delight!
Travelling through these books now in audio format is to revisit some of the finest story-telling that I personally have ever come across. I don't think many would claim that J K Rowling explored brand new ground to stretch the fantasy / sci-fi genres into new areas. What she did do though is take fantasy and shape it into a fantastic set of stories that genuinely people of all ages could enjoy. She opened up the genre in a way not seen since The Lord of the Rings.
When you marry that to the near sublime narration from Stephen Fry you end up with something that when taken in its own terms is as near perfect an audiobook as I have had the pleasure to listen to.
For those of us who's only recent experience of Harry Potter has been the excellent films there is also the occasional hidden please of scenes that never made it to the films such as the "Deathday" Party.
Right, I'm off to chase the Prisoner of Azkaban now!

They've finally reached Audible & it was worth the wait. An essential purchase read beautifully by Stephen Fry.

Brilliant listening.
Stephen Fry made this book great listening.
He keeps you engaged and in suspense. I will be buying the rest of the series. Great for all age ranges.

Spooky!
Often called the weakest in the series by critics, I personally loved it. Decent, if not brilliant story and Mr. Fry's voice as usual does its own magic.
Slightly contrived ending with Dobby the house elf, but that's me being super picky. All in all, well worth leaving the Muggle world for..

Harry does it again!
Another good book with Stephen Fry narrating it in fantastic style. It's always hard to pinpoint a favourite section of J.K.R's Harry Potter books and as most people have read the printed book or seen the films there is not much chance of spoiling, I will say I felt sorry for the whomping willow!

Good books
I stopped reading the books when the movies came out personally they ruined the mental images I had created for myself. Being older and busier now these audio books are wonderful to listen to while I drive or lay in bed although Steven fry has such a soothing voice it often sends me off to sleep :) the first books I had ever read and just as magical the second time around xx

Kids loved it
Our kids can't get enough of Harry Potter. Having the audio book enables us to read the book during dinner or downtime. I find the kids just want to get to bed earlier so they can find out what happens next. Stephen Fry is great.

Great way to re-live the books
I haven't read the Harry Potter books in about 18 years, this is a great way to fall in love with them again. Really enjoyed Stephen Fry's voice. Highly recommended.
