Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete set? Yes. All three CDs are present and play-tested. The multi-disc jewel case, outer slipcase, and all printed inserts are included.
Why is the case worn if the CDs are clean? This is typical for a 18-year-old audiobook that has been stored in a collection. The plastic case ages with time and handling, while the CDs themselves remain pristine if played carefully and kept in their case.
Is this abridged or unabridged? This is the abridged version, professionally condensed by John Nicholl for audio format. At approximately 3 hours across 3 CDs, it captures the heart and adventure of the full story without the full 8–10 hour commitment of an unabridged recording.
Can children listen independently or is a parent needed? Recommended for ages 9–12, the story is engaging and age-appropriate. Some younger listeners (7–8) may enjoy it with a parent; older children and teens listen independently. Ruth Jones's narration makes it accessible to all.
What is the original book publication date? Georgia Byng's Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism was first published in 2002. This audio edition was released by Macmillan in 2006 (with © 2005 on the disc labels).
