The sun is bright and dazzles your eyes. Gulls wheel and circle above your head, their cries mingling with the roar of the surf. You shield your eyes from the glare, careless of the sharp cold slap of the breaking waves against your bare thighs.

Ignoring the shouts of your companions as they leap from the ships like dead bronze leaves heralding the onset of a long cold winter you gaze beyond the shoreline over the vast expanse of golden sand to where it stands, shimmmering in the midday sun. Troy. . .

Through the power of our imagination we can stand with Achilles as he gazes at distant Troy and dreams of eternal glory. Books are portals to other worlds. They can touch all our emotions and inspire us to greatness.

I love reading because I was read wonderful stories as a child. That’s why I decided to get involved in selling audio-books. We don’t always have time to read for ourselves or, more importantly, to our children but we can provide them with audio-books to listen to.

Children’s interest and understanding frequently transcends their reading ability. Audio-books provide the perfect answer. Listening stimulates the imagination which is of course the brain’s most powerful ability.

So get those MP3 Players and iPods loaded with something more than just music!

Let them visit Troy in their imagination as they listen to quality audiobooks.
