Lucky man and, might I add, discerning. Now to search for any other readings. Do you know if he narrated anymore Blackwood? Or authors of the similar ilk? TIA 🦉

I don't know if I have any others that I'm likely to be posting. but he did perform a lot of audiobooks and that included Alan Garner's dark fantasies eg The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. Depending on your taste you might be interested to know that he also played Brother Cadfael in three adaptations of the Ellis Peters novels (mediaeval whodunnits, later made for television with Derek Jacobi).
Well said !! I wonder if you ever had the pleasure of hearing the magnificent voice of Alan Howard ? Not so well known by TV audiences but a Giant of Theatre . Many years with the RSC .
