Stephen’s voice savvy—vocal sensitivity and versatility— constitutes his incomparable quiddity. Retain the visual persona and the narrative and the text but replace the voice, and lo the mantle on the mystique crumples to the ground in tatters.

I first found out about Oscar when i was about 13 and saw the trials of oscar wilde starring peter finch………..wow after that i had to read the yellow book by hesketh pearson and continued from there. film has inspired me to find out more about many things, but oscar was a real and genuine find for me……what genius what tragedy and of course the writing, and i too am very fond of the fairy tales which are almost bibical and so profound………….if i had children i would love to read them aloud or better still let you read them to me and them……….heaven…

Ahh… If only we all had someone like you to tell us stories Stephen… the world would be such a nicer, brighter place…if only for a brief time!! Stephen Fry reading Oscar Wilde or ANYTHING for that matter…. brilliant (should be compulsary on the school curriculum)

How wonderful to hear you speak of Wilde with such an amount of grace and tenderness. It´s furthermore a great thing that you turn stories and books into audio-books, because I remember reading The Liar when I was fifteen and I actually heard your voice telling the story!
I always thought that you being a fellow earth-dweller is something very treasurable. (I left a film of drool on your hand. Sorry.)

Stephen,

Thank you for your eloquent insight into language and so many things. Your appreciation of language as art is evident in your own spoken words and I appreciate you helping others discover todays oft-overlooked treasures.
