I have the other 20 all as Patrick Tull versions. The Simon Vance ones are equally good, it's just once you start with one reader, there's a strong desire to stay with the same reader. There are also ones now from Ric Jerrom. I haven't really sampled them, so can't comment. Except that it's encouraging that his version uses the Clarissa Oakes title instead of the US The Truelove. A brief listen of his reading was encouraging. (These versions were clearly picked up as part of the disintegration of AudioGo. )
I noticed the different narrators during an OverDrive search:
  • Simon Vance -- Blackstone Audio (21 titles)
  • Ric Jerrom -- AudioGO (15 titles)
  • Tim Pigott-Smith -- Random House (10 titles)
  • Robert Hardy -- HarperCollins (5 titles)
  • Neville Taylor -- HarperCollins (1 title)
The only complete collection by a single narrator is from Simon Vance.
