This includes the first ten books in the Xanth series by Piers Anthony, with all tape noise removed* (see caveat below).
I’ve only ever found these books as very old and damaged cassette tape conversions. These tapes had an extreme amount of hiss, artifacts, and general audio degradation. I found them nearly unlistenable.
Unfortunately, removing all the tape noise has an odd side effect: the tape damage becomes more noticeable, especially in the narrator’s voice. At times, it sounds like he has a lisp when pronouncing his S’s. It’s a bummer, but its a result of the condition of the tape conversion.
Even with this issue, I still think this is the best way (currently) to listen to these books for anyone interested. Compare it to what’s out there and decide for yourself.
These books were wildly popular when I was younger, so I hope they’re re-recorded someday with a new narrator. Hope someone else may enjoy this!

With how things are going I wouldn’t be surprised if these became popular again and new recordings made.

My paperback copy from 1983 says “Soon to be a Major Motion Picture” on the cover! So, its just any day now!

A movie and TV series adaptation of Piers Anthony’s long-running Xanth fantasy series is in development, with Steven Paul’s SP Entertainment Group leading the project. The project was announced in 2017, and while development has been underway, there have been no further updates on a release date or further creative details. Variety reported that Steven Paul, Spike Seldin, and Hans Futterman were producers on the project.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. After many years, I revisited the series, and I finished the first two books a few months ago. Looking forward to the audiobooks.

personally I still have a fondness for these books, even after all these years! Still have my whole paperback collection of them someplace, haha. I kinda felt they peaked around Man From Mundania or Isle of View (#13?)… Question Quest, the one after that, was just okay, and I felt like the series really slipped in quality after that and isn’t even worth the time, so I don’t mind at all that this is only the first 10 books. I’d love if you also uploaded the next 3 or 4 books though!
