A Little History:
It’s true. Historians trace the first audiobook to the year 1952, when Caedmon Records, now a subsidiary of Harper Collins, recorded poet Dylan Thomas personally reading a collection of his works for the label.
Recordings by authors and poets such as T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and Robert Frost soon followed, and Caedmon began expanding its operation to include additional literary genres such as children’s stories, foreign classics, and theatre performances.
Nearly twenty-five years later, Columbian author David Sanchez Juliao became a second-generation pioneer in the world of audiobooks with his 1975 tape recording of a collection of short stories he had authored. Since these early trailblazers in creating digital books, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and today, the world of audio books online has become a large and steadily growing industry.
