I'm listening to the SEAWIGS AUDIO BOOK! The actor's doing the Iris the mermaid voice at the moment and it's making me laugh so much. Mr and Mrs Crisp, Oliver's parents, don't sound at all like I imagined but much better and more funny. Here's the brilliant chappie who reads it, actor \u003Ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0544139/\">Clive Mantle\u003C/a>.

Of course, it's not as good as the printed book because you \u003Cfont size=\"3\">MISS ALL MY ILLUSTRATIONS\u003C/font>, but it's a great companion piece, or for car journeys, or if you're visually impaired. I would make a terrible audio reader because I'd keep stopping to tell people about the pictures and go on and on.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.audiogo.com/uk/oliver-and-the-seawigs-philip-reeve-sarah-mcintyre-gid-1035391\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/seawigs_audiobook_zpsbbbbefae-b7936489b2.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nAnd on another subject, here's a fascinating thing I found on the Internet, tweeted by \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/EmmaK67\">Emma Kennedy\u003C/a>: the art of \u003Cb>fore-edge book painting\u003C/b>.
