Like so much, claire it came from the US.  But RNIb use it all the time now in 
relation to talking books.  Howler, there is an inconsistency because they say 
at the beginning "the book is read by David Thorpe", not narrated or "The 
narrator is".  And surely it's beyond dispute that the narrator of David 
copperfield is the eponymous character.  the narrator of Catcher in the rye is 
Holden callfield.  And where it's a third person narrative then the voice is 
that of the author.
