Ralph Cosham/Geoffrey Howard

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 1:25 am

I was recently listening to the Perelandra audio book. I noticed how exactly his voice sounded like the Breton males in Oblivion, but the guy had a different name (Ralph Cosham). So anyway, I thought they just must've had extremely similar accents. I found out eventually through wikipedia that these guys were the same! Turns out Ralph Cosham narrates books under the name "Geoffrey Howard" sometimes. He narrates a ton of stuff, like the Divine Comedy (Dante's stuff), Around the World in Eighty Days, and Alice in Wonderland (terrible book).

Had anyone else ever stumbled upon this guy's narrations?

I have the Naxos audiobook of the Divine Comedy. But it's narrated by Heathcote Williams. Offhand, I don't recall seeing the name Geoffrey Howard anywhere. Nowadays I mostly listen to the free audiobooks put out by LibreVox anyway. I guess I'm cheap. ;)

When you say "terrible book" do you mean the audiobook version? I guess I can imagine that Alice in Wonderland might not work well in an audiobook form. So much depends on tyopography, and those classic illustrations by Tenniel.
