Audiobooks narrated by Stephen Fry

Probably the most recognisable voice in British audiobooks. Warm, unhurried, and very good at holding a large cast apart without ever sounding like he is doing voices. His Harry Potter is the UK edition; Americans grew up with Jim Dale instead, and people are partisan about it.
