All of us at Silksoundbooks would like to wish a big Happy Birthday to our star audio book reader Tim Pigott-Smith.

Tim graduated in Drama from the University of Bristol, in 1967 and now holds the position of Special Lecturer in the Department of Drama. He went on to train at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and began his professional acting career at the Bristol Old Vic in 1969. He was recently honoured by Leicester University and Bristol University with a Doctor of Letters.

Tim has worked extensively in regional theatre and has toured the UK, first with Prospect in the early 70's, and more recently with his own company, Compass - taking major productions to the regions. He is also well known for his appearances on television with his award-winning performance as Ronald Merrick in The Jewel in the Crown bringing international recognition. Tim's movie credits include Clash of the Titans, Escape to Victory, and The Remains of the Day.

Tim's excellent reading of the wry, evocative and extremely witty Plain Tales from the Hills by Rudyard Kipling is available as an audiobook download from Silksoundbooks.
