The audio books market is booming and we’ve brought together some real greats ­– from Muriel Spark and George Orwell to AS Byatt and Yann Martel.

Our best-selling titles are here, so whether you love Richard Holloway’s eloquent musings on faith, David Eagleman’s unpacking of the human mind or Steven Hall's thrilling The Raw Shark Texts, there’s something to suit every taste.

We’ve also teamed up with our friends at Faber and Faber to make their diverse range available for download. We will jointly publish up to a dozen new titles each year – the 2012 launch list included masterpieces such as Remains of the Day (read by The Wire's Dominic West) and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. You can view the entire Canongate Faber audio list here.

This month, we are releasing two additional titles from Edinburgh author Muriel Spark, a writer whose works John Updike says 'linger in the mind as brilliant shards'. Our audio editions of A Far Cry From Kensington and Memento Mori are brilliantly read by Juliet Stevenson and Eve Karpf.
