The downloadable abridged audiobook edition of Matthew Paris’ charming tale, A Castle in Spain, read by the author himself.

Walking in the Pyrenees, two decades ago, Matthew Parris and his sister came upon a magnificent medieval home. It had crests and a day – 1559 – chiselled in to the stone: its walls and foundations had been intact however the ancient oak ridge timber helping the roof experienced split and was ready to collapse in to the rotten flooring beneath. Renovation would be an epic undertaking – a massive investment of your time, cash and feelings. And, the locals warned, nobody ever remaining L’Avenc with hardly any money. A couple of years ago, Matthew (along with his family’s help) returned and bought the area. Astonishing and arguably idiotic, his decision resulted in a phenomenal amount of hard work, and this greatly enjoyable audiobook. Inspirational, instructional and absolutely irresistible, this is the story of 1 man’s dream to turn a ignored spoil into his individual Castle in Spain.
