British actor and writer Mark Gatiss has been announced as the winner of the Best Performance: Narrator award at The Speakies - The British Audio Awards - for his performance reading Ian Fleming’s fifth James Bond novel, From Russia With Love (1957). The From Sweden with Love team congratulates Mr. Gatiss to this much deserved award.

Stripped of music and effects to let Ian Fleming’s prose shine, Mark Gatiss’s sharp, characterful delivery captures the wit, pace, and atmosphere that helped cement 007 as a cultural icon.

The audiobook edition of From Russia with Love read by Mark Gatiss is produced by Corinne Turner for Ian Fleming Publications.
