Artemis Fowl audio tapes (Roseburn EH12)
These are the first 3 books from the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer: Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident, Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code. We recorded them from the CDs to listen to in the car on long journeys, and they passed the time well! Haven't played them for ages but they were fine the last time we listened to them.

The Fischer ones are 175cm long and the Elan ones are 160cm. Are these any use to anyone?
