I remember when I wanted a comfort listen while recovering from eye surgery and got The Prisoner of Zenda narrated by Bernard Mayes. That crotchety old man voice couldn't have been wronger for the dashing Rudolf Rassendyll! Back it went to Audible. I ended up with the Librivox version which was fine.

There was an article in the Guardian today about The Simpsons which observed how many of the voices have gotten too old for the characters.
