This brings up one of the things that have been maddening me for
years now (particularly since I don't seem to be destined to win the
pool) but what will "Wesasly is our King" sound like when sung by
Fry? I'm perplexed that Amazon.com has audio bits by Dale -- okay,
nice job... makes the Yanks feel English -- buy I've never
understood wny Amazon.co.uk doesn't equally present Fry sound bytes.
He /should/ be okay. Why not give the Westerners something to save
their bucks for?
As a guy who spent money tres exorbitante on UK material, a mere
hint at Fry's ability might push me over the edge to pay for the UK
audio book.>>>
Just the fact that it is Stephen Fry, an english comic ledgend and
extrodinary author should be enough for people to part with their
hard earned! I could never understand why the US needed their own
version (of the books or the audio books actually). The books are set
in England and Scotland - why not use an English actor to voice
them!! And with such an actor on hand as Stephen Fry why look
anywhere else.
For those who do not know him, Stephen Fry has played numerous
characters (usually called Melchett) throughout the Blackadder Series
(with Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Miranda Richardson) and starred
in his own wonderful series with Hugh Laurie called 'A bit of Fry and
Laurie'. He's also written a couple of novels, worked on loads of
movies and is the only person JKR has met who knew what Hogwarts
motto Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon meant without being told. A
genuine renaissance man.
