Alexander Scourby is reputed to have been the world's best audio-book narrator, bar none. He is heralded as having the greatest voice ever recorded. Scourby, a radio, film and stage actor, read 422 books for the Talking Books program of the American Foundation for the Blind, including Homer's “Iliad,” Tolstoy's “War and Peace,” Joyce's “Ulysses,” Faulkner's “The Sound and the Fury” and the King James Version of the Bible. Although Scourby considered Talking Books his most important work, he also made several recordings for Spoken Arts and Listening Library.
