Children's Books Special: The best audiobooks

For younger children of 6-10, Macmillan has at last recorded the works of Eva Ibbotson. Gloriously funny and completely screwball, her tales of eccentric witches and kindly ghosts will be familiar to anyone with slightly peculiar relations, but their wit is of a kind which adults will love too.

The best of all is The Beasts of Clawstone Castle as read by David Tennant, below (both £10.99).
