Is the place to find a couple of Talking books regarding Nelson, a great shop to visit in town.
Highly Recommended is

The Letters of Lord Nelson
Read by Charles Dance
A great CD to while away an evening drink! :D

Nelson
Author Christopher Hibbert

and

The Authentic Narrative of the Death of Lord Nelson
Author Sir William Beatty
Reader Edward Kelsey

You can order online.

Cheers :)

Thanks for that, Stephen.

Does Charles Dance have a Norfolk accent, like Nelson?

Well, actually, thank goodness for that. I would think that a Norfolk accent, although it might be historically correct, may be a bit hard on the ear. Plus of course you might miss some of the words. :?

Tacking into the Trafalgar week, I forgot to mention this on Talking Books.

Trafalgar,
The Men, The Battle, The Storm
by Tim Clayton and Phil Craig
ISBN 1-84032-958-0

The book is excellent and this CD is just a great way of remembering the publication quickly for three hours.
