The unexpected death of Sir Laurence Olivier on July 11, 24 years ago, has delayed the release of the audio version of What We Found in the Sofa and How It Saved the World. The audio book, which, according to Amazon, was slated for release on July 16, 2013, would probably have been read by Lord Olivier in the same voice he used for Richard III. Upon learning of Sir Larry’s death (those of us who knew of him felt privileged to call him Larry) the producers of the audio book scrambled to secure the services of the real Richard III, who had been found in a British car park earlier this year, thereby setting themselves up for yet another disappointment.
There is no word on a revised release date for the audio book.

Apparently, Richard had been searching the car park for lost car keys. Witnesses reported him studying the asphalt intently.
