The classics retold

Whether we’re working with Michael Sheen on his award-winning narration of Philip Pullman’s La Belle Sauvage, recording our 3D-audio edition of James and the Giant Peach with its rich soundtrack of specially-commissioned sound effects, or creating a completely immersive full-cast recording of Sylvain Neuvel’s science-fiction epic Only Human, we’re always looking for new ways to create audio editions which are simultaneously faithful to the book and unique experiences in their own right.
