Free site for downloading plays or stories?

Does anyone know of a web site from which one can legally download plays or stories?
We have a blind relative who gets great pleasure from the radio and from talking books, but it is beginning to get a little expensive for her to keep buying new CDs.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried searching google ? entering a search of "talking books brings up pages of results"

In this country you can borrow them from the library.

Unfortunately(?), we are all in France, and although talking books can also be borrowed here from the libraries, they are, not surprisingly, in French and, sadly, she is not yet fluent enough.

They are even on the Sky and Freesat radio channels.

I didn't go deeply into it but you can have a read.

Thank you. That look very much worth looking into.

I have also just found, on this forum, the following:-
