<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;">Welcome to Mythmakers Season 4!!<br><br>Since April of 2022<span style="color: black; background: white;"> Andy Serkis has been working his way through Tolkien's books, producing audio versions of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit- he has now turned his attention to The Silmarillion. Our expert on audiobooks, Andrew Head, who as a blind consumer often turns to audio versions to access stories, talks with Julia Golding about this latest version of The Silmarillion and the Martin Shaw reading that came before it. Which would you buy now? How does Andy cope with a book that has far less opportunities for a dramatic reading than the other Tolkien books? What more do you get from this version? Tune in to hear our verdict!</span></span></p>
