Our most recent title, My Grandads And Afghanistan, combines excerpts from the poems, stories and journalism of Rudyard Kipling with the family history of writer/actor Brian Wright, many of whose ancestors served as private soldiers in the British army in India during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The audio book also offers an insight into Britain’s long – and often inglorious – involvement in Afghanistan.

Other recent titles include, Tales My Grandcat Told Me, a collection of folk stories about cats from around the world. We also have How To Own A Human, an anthology of stories, poems, quotations and rhymes about Cats, including a instruction course for cats on how to train their humans called "The Open Mew-niversity".

Another recent addition to our list is Finding Katherine Mansfield, an exploration of the New Zealand writer's life and work told through her journals, letters and extracts from her stories.  Katherine Mansfield was born in Wellington in 1888 and moved to Europe in 1908 where she wrote some of the best short stories in the English language. She died, aged 34, of tuberculosis.

In 1941 Tony Rawson, a gas fitter in Watford, was conscripted into the army and sent to the Middle East. He spent the next 5 years in Iraq, Persia (Iran), Syria, the Lebannon and finally Palestine before being invalided home at the end of 1946. Almost every week during that time he wrote home to his mother in Watford and Paul Panting reads a selection of these letters in Private Rawson's War, a double CD pack.
