Jim Dale was the original. He’s even in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest number of individually voiced characters in a single recording (Goblet of Fire). I am not sure why it was re-recorded with Stephen Fry. I love Fry but Dale’s version is, IMHO, far superior.
Book: Dune
Audiobook: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (narrated by Jim Dale).
I thought it was Stephen Fry that narrated All of them!
