About the Narrator(s)
Annette Chown loves to tell a good story and have a good natter. She fell in love with acting when she joined the Bristol Old Vic Youth Theatre and she went on to train at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD). The first audiobook she narrated was Weird, by Jeremy Strong, and since then she’s narrated a variety of titles from Enid Bagnold’s National Velvet to Jess Ryder’s thrillers including The Ex-Wife. She also played Molly in the BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Michael Morpurgo’s Private Peaceful, which was recorded on location in the beautiful Devonshire countryside and will always hold a special place in her heart.
