About The Chronicles of Narnia
"They say Aslan is on the move... perhaps has already landed." C.S. Lewis's endearing The Chronicles of Narnia takes us into a miraculous place where animals talk, into a land of centaurs, giants, witches, and unicorns. Here, faith, hope, love, and courage overcome all obstacles. There is some disagreement about the sequence in which the stories should be listened to, but we have listed them in publication order – an order that keeps Lewis's vision intact.

About A Series of Unfortunate Events
In Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, nothing ever goes right for the Baudelaire orphans. But tragedy, despair, peril, and discomfort have never been so much fun, or so popular as they are in this quirky series. No matter what Violet, Klaus, and Sunny do, their evil and disgusting guardian, Count Olaf, always finds them. Since 1999, these three unfortunate children have suffered more misery than anyone should. But the more miserable these three are, the happier it makes listeners!

About Adam Arkin
Broadway, movies, television, and audiobooks. Some might think that having a famous father would make a boy a shoe-in for all these, but one must shine on one's own. Adam Arkin, famous for his role in Chicago Hope, directed numerous episodes of Northern Exposure, has acted in over 40 movies and has received a Tony nomination for his acting in I Hate Hamlet on Broadway. "Arkin's portrayal of [Meriwether] Lewis is excellent – one imagines that the actual Lewis must have spoken so."—AudioFile, in its review of Lewis & Clark.

About Adam Dalgliesh
In Scotland Yard Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh, P.D. James has created a man of sensitivity, courage, and intelligence. He sometimes wishes that his only problems involve investigating murder. For as difficult as solving these crimes can be, often his relationships with living people – women, in particular – are harder to figure out. It's his poet's heart that gives him so much trouble.

About Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie is the Golden Age Queen of Crime, the most popular mystery writer of all time. She's in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's bestselling author. She's given us Hercule Poirot, Jane Marple, and the longest-running play in London, The Mousetrap. Christie was born in England in 1890 and died in 1976, though her books live on due to their timeless appeal. In 1971 she received the high honor of becoming a Dame of the British Empire. So what's the one dream her millions of loyal fans from around the world still share? No mystery here. To find one more Agatha Christie novel they haven't read.

About Agatha Raisin
If you're looking for a young, flighty detective who charms everyone in sight, Agatha Raisin is not the woman for you. This prickly, 50-something amateur investigator often – and often eagerly – rubs people the wrong way. Good thing she turned her back on her public relations business! But this rose with many thorns finds her attitude is perfect for shaking the villains loose. Here in the quaint Cotswolds, where murder keeps cropping up, Agatha is a cross "between Miss Marple, Auntie Mame, and Lucille Ball with a tad of pit bull tossed in."—St. Petersburg Times

About Alan Furst
Alan Furst is a master of the spy thriller, often compared with Graham Greene. His eclectic writing career included covering Seattle Seahawks football games and co-authoring Debbi Fields' One Smart Cookie, which enabled him to move to Paris, travel as a journalist in Russia and Eastern Europe, and begin work on the first of his elegant tales of historical espionage, Night Soldiers. Furst's gift lies in being moved by his characters. "Somehow, I know these people,I know their voices." Indeed, he writes to sound: "I find myself dry-mouthed after a couple of hours writing."

About Albert Campion
He has a great disguise: Albert Campion comes off as an ineffective, upper-class fop. But equally at home in the underworld and among the upper crust, Margery Allingham's super-sleuth rarely misses a clue or fails to find a motive. Behind his horn-rimmed glasses and mild-mannered façade is a brilliant mind that can penetrate the villainous heart of the most heinous crime. Delight in listening to criminals who underestimate Campion at their peril. But it's understandable: his apparently harmless, goofy character is pure P.G. Wodehouse, and just as entertaining.

About Alex Cross
"The Alex Cross series remains [James] Patterson's finest," says Publishers Weekly of this string of mysteries. The Washington, D.C., detective/FBI agent started off as a psychologist, concentrating on abnormal psychology and forensic psychology. Even though his private practice went bust, he still finds that his training helps him solve crimes, whether working as a profiler in Washington, or as a senior agent with the FBI. His training in abnormal psych gives him an uneasy awareness of the terrible harm people are capable of inflicting on one another.

About Alex Delaware
The Shadow may know what lurks in the hearts of men, but Alex Delaware goes deeper, into their minds. Using what he knows about irrational, fanatical, obsessive behavior, Jonathan Kellerman's psychologist risks his own sanity – not to mention his life – by helping the police investigate crimes that horrify him. His knowledge of the enigmatic and erratic ways of human psychosis gives him clues into motives and impulses that others don't have.
