About this listen

The thrilling international bestseller from Holland, now a Netflix Original Series.

It is the dead of night. Sixteen-year-old Tiuri must spend hours locked in a chapel in silent contemplation if he is to be knighted the next day. But as he waits by the light of a flickering candle, he hears a knock at the door and a voice desperately asking for help.

A secret letter must be delivered to King Unauwen across the Great Mountains - a letter upon which the fate of the entire kingdom depends. Tiuri has a vital role to play, one that might cost him his knighthood.

Tiuri's journey will take him through dark, menacing forests, across treacherous rivers, to sinister castles and strange cities. He will encounter evil enemies who would kill to get the letter but also the best of friends in the most unexpected places.

He must trust no one. He must keep his true identity secret. Above all, he must never reveal what is in the letter...

The Letter for the King is the epic story of one boy's battle against evil, set in an enchanted world of chivalry, courage, and true friendship.

Good story.

Great narrator! there were point I forgot it wasnt a cast and was just one narrator.


The only negative I have is that it was slightly predictable in places and there was a bit of a cringe exposition drop but overall worthy of a listen every couple of years.

Great narrator

This is one of the books I needed to read for school years ago, when I saw it again I immediately downloaded it to listen to it again. It’s still one of the best children books

I enjoyed this book when I read it a few years ago and the audiobook does it justice. It’s an enjoyable story that sweeps you along and the characters are engaging.

A Great Adventure

Such a gripping story with pacing and engaging characters that kept me wanting to keep listening. The experience was made all the better by the narrator Matt Addis who performed so many different characters convincingly; giving each region the protagonist travels to a slightly different accent and dialect, with a breadth of character that helped you recognise specific characters voices. Absolutely loved this story and can’t wait to listen to the next instalment!

Fantastic
