Any idea where I could find these to listen to? Thank you.
Unfortunately, they are not available anywhere. There were rumours that the California Medical Facility was going to digitize the tapes, but nothing has come out so far.
Best,

Didn’t he also record for the reading of The Chronicles of Narnia series?
I believe he has, but it was not mentioned on the book list I found.
have they released the recordings yet?
Not that I know of.
If anyone gets their hands on his copy of Star Wars, let me know. I want to listen.

Not that we are aware of.
