In an effort to promote the revamped Apple Books app in iOS 12, Apple has released 6 free to download audiobooks read by celebrity narraters, including Kelsey Grammer and Kate Beckinsale.
The titles dubbed “Great Free Listens” are all public domain works and range from four to twelve hours in length with one being a retelling of Winnie the Pooh recorded by Disney. Here’s how Apple describes them:
