Florilegium Press
Rediscovered voices · Audiobook narration · Wide distribution
If you listen closely, singular voices are whispering forgotten stories...
Florilegium Press is an independent publisher specialising in bringing overlooked public domain works to new audiences through audiobooks.
The press focuses particularly on works by women, folklore, science and nature writing, and other literary curiosities.
Florilegium Press allows me to do what I love most - read and engage with literature on a deep level, and bring stories to life through sincere narration. I hope that these audiobooks will entertain, delight and surprise you.
The audiobooks are recorded, produced and mastered to meet industry standards. Through Author's Republic, Florilegium Press audiobooks are widely distrubuted to all major platforms and to libraries.

On A Pincushion
This collection of fairy tales was a sensation when it was published in 1877, but has since fallen out of the spotlight. This audiobook brings to life a fantastical cast of characters, from fairies to clockwork princesses to talking tigresses. Written for children but engaging enough to ensare adults, this collection of fairy stories feels fresh despite its Victorian bones.
This audiobook also includes an introduction by the narrator (myself, Amber N. Hafeez) and a reading of a Spectator article from 1976, reviewing the book upon its release. These tracks bookend the collection, providing historical context.

If you are looking for a narrator and/or producer for your audiobook, I'd love to hear about your project.
I'm also open to suggestions for new public domain projects - is there an old, forgotten story you want to hear through your headphones?
