Listed for reference: Michael Kitchen audio books to date, with approximate playing times.
Notes:
Years given are release dates.
Chivers Audio Books later became BBC Audiobooks, 85% of which was sold to AudioGO Ltd in 2010.
AudioGo ceased to trade in 2014. A number of Chivers/AudioGo recordings became available on MP3-CD in 2015 (see notes under various titles); it is to be hoped that more will follow.
The list mentions cassette and CD releases only; no indication is given re books available for download from such as Amazon.
1988
- A Very Quiet Place by Andrew Garve. Chivers Audio Books. 5 hrs 30 mins on audio cassette.
1989

Note: The title of this collection is odd, considering that none of the stories has anything to do with Christmas. This does appear to be the title under which it was published, but a reference to Country Story Collection was seen once, which is more applicable, so should be born in mind when searching for this item.
