Episodic audiobooks are great for short bursts of listening, and CSAWord has come up with an imaginative selection of short stories in The Thinking Man’s Collection (4 CDs, £16.99). Among the 14 authors are Wilkie Collins, John Buchan, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jerome K. Jerome and the voices include Martin Jarvis, Stephen Fry and Richard Griffiths.

An excellent download of Saki’s complete Chronicles of Clovis (silksoundbooks.com, £7.95) is read by Ian Richardson, and the redoubtable Baroness, the devious Clovis and a whole bestiary of unpredictable animals and outrageous personal relationships are guaranteed to raise smiles.

Accessible and heart-warming, the Children of God Storybook Bible (Harper, 2 CDs, £9.99), written and read by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, will draw in everyone who hears it.
