BBC Radio broadcasts audio version of self-published book
I turned up that interesting nugget of info when I went looking for more information on the book in question, which is a children's novel currently being broadcast by BBC 7's Big Toe show. Here's the Big Toe page where the on-demand audio is available ("Abraham Hannibal and the Raiders of the Sand"): http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/bigtoe/books/ And here's the news article that mentions that the book was self-published: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3212181.stm At the time the article was written, in 2003, the book had sold one thousand copies. Oh, and here's the cover art for the novel and its sequel (skip down to "Hannibal"). I like the art. http://www.chronicleworld.org/tomsite/bookarch/books11/01_BK_02.htm
