Audio Book for a Veeeeeeeeeery long journey Please

[Shoshable]

Can anyone recommend an audio book that will please a 11 year old girl and I all the way from Dorset to Stirling!

Done the usual classics, Dahl, Narnia, Heidi, Secret Garden, and getting desperate.

Harry Potter read by Stephen Fry. Absolutely wonderful. And looooooooooooong!!!!! Also if you can get hold of it, a brilliant book called Little Darlings by Sam Llywellyn. We've listened to it lots and we still laugh!

Don't forget, you can get them from the library!

We've planned our journey to the north of Scotland from Kent to fit in with the release of the new Harry Potter on cd!

Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Harry Potter.

Dh downloaded all of them and they last forever!

We have done the Harry Potter aswell, can you tell we do a lot of long distamce runs!

Will look st the Little Darlings tho confess never heard of it.

NBG where did he download them from please, was going to buy them from Play.com, but would be betther if I could down losd them as going in two weeks.

Harry Potter. Some of them are over 24 houes so will take you There and back again! Actually that would be another onem, The Hobbit

Audible.com is a good place to download stuff, dead easy, even I can do it.

The Just William ones would be good

Might try The hobbit, although not sure she will like it, I know I woulsd, as it was one of my favorites.

We did Pollyanna on last years drive to Stirling, never again, we had to play the Glad game all the way home!

Audible is dead easy to use btw. I managed to down load stuff from there on my own

Oh and another thing that was good, but not long was Dr Who. It was 2.5 hours, so wouldn't do the whole trip.

Do you sopt someone else who has done too many long journeys!

Ok on Audiable what a great site, going to find a couple I think!

Its a forces thing I think MB driving long distances!

Sorry Shosable.

I'm not entirely sure where he got it tbh. He downloads from lots of different places.

My dh and I listened to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on our last trip to England. It's great.

Another vote for Harry Potter.

We chose Little Women, it was one of my favs as achild, hope DGD likes it!

Be careful with audible.com - some of theirs are abridged and also geared for the American market. Check before you chick! And there are versions of Harry Potter not read by Stephen Fry - avoid these like the plague!

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. If you've already done Potter you need some good grade A mental sci-fi to liven up the journey

Dummy questions - presumably when you download, you then listen on an ipod? Or do you burn to a cd that can be played in the car? Sorry my technical knowledge is so minimal.....

I have been known to do both. Although I have 'hikers' and 'WotW' on cd already so I just encode them to the mp3 player when I want to take them in a non car setting.

unabridged huckleberry finn...... fantastic!..... and v v long!

series of unfortunate events? we only have the first one which is aroubd 3 hours, but there are plenty in the series to go at!

I just finished 13hours of Isabelle Allende - Daughter of Fortune. I really enjoyed it. I got it at the Talking Book Shop in Wigmore Street.

Sorry not for 11 year old girl - I must start finishing reading the whole sentence....>

Harry Potter.
I've just listened to the first one on CD and its nice and long and such a good story too (not that I'm biased). The later books are much longer.

Check your local library to see what they have too.
