As I mentioned in a different thread, Audible is making various children's books available for free streaming and the Fry version is one of those books. So far so good.
So far, my take is that they are both very good, but have very different styles. I think that Jim Dale does a much better job on character voices, but Fry is a better voice actor, i.e. he puts more emotion into the reading.

Yes, I've had both since they released way back when. Of the two, I slightly prefer the Stephen Fry version but both are excellent.
