Barbara Cartland, Queen of Romance

When she died in 2000, Dame Barbara Cartland left behind a legacy of romantic fiction unparalleled in the world of literature. Frequently pictured dressed in furs accompanied by her beloved Pekingese, she played the role of ‘Queen of Romance’ to a tee. And now you can get many of them in audiobook format, it’s possible to experience all the heartache, passion, jealousy and romance in an even more personal and intense way! Over 720 novels were published in her lifetime, and another 160 manuscripts were released posthumously as ‘The Pink Collection’. You can only begin to imagine the fun of recording audiobook versions of her writing! I have been fortunate to have been asked to record twelve Barbara Cartland novels from the series published by Saga Egmont. They are:

The Husband Hunters
Love Forbidden
The Castle Made for Love
The Saint and the Sinner
The Impetuous Duchess
The Waltz of Hearts
The Ghost Who Fell in Love
The Audacious Adventuress
A Song of Love
Lovers in Lisbon
Love Leaves at Midnight
Fire on the Snow
