Audiobooks narrated by Derek Jacobi
Reads Brother Cadfael, having played him — the same doubling as Suchet and Poirot. Worth knowing his Cadfael recordings run around three hours each where the Stephen Thorne recordings run seven, so check the length before you buy on the strength of the name. His Iliad and Odyssey is the long-form classical reading people reach for, and he turns up in the Sherlock Holmes recordings too.
