Audible has announced the launch of Audible stories, letting anyone, anywhere access over 200 full-length audiobooks for free for the duration of school closures. There’s no log-in or registration required. All the titles in the collection are available to stream straight from the web on your desktop, laptop, phone or tablet-and there’s no limit to how much people can listen.
This is a great option for some family listening or extra learning during school closures, and one that gives us a much needed break from screens.
The collection is largely geared toward school age children but there are audiobooks suitable for adults too, and many are being read by some famous voices, including Alice In Wonderland (read by Scarlett Johansson), Jane Eyre (read by Thandie Newton), Anne of Green Gables (Read by Rachel McAdams) and Frankenstein (read by Dan Stevens). https://stories.audible.com/
