Recently, my husband played for me a tape which he had recorded from
a radio broadcast of Nicol Williamson ("Excalibur"s Merlin) reading
the complete Hobbit.  Wonderful characterisation, with Beorn having
a strong Scots burr, Bilbo with a West Country (Dorset, Cornwall) 
accent, the Dwarves sounding Yorkshire/Norse and Gandalf as a nasal-
twangy Oxbridge scholar.

Unfortunately, David's tape is not complete.  Where can we find this
recording these days?  Is it the set boxed in what looks like a salt
cod box that is available in some bookstores?  Is it actually a record
set rather than a tape set?  Does anyone know anything about it?  Help?

Thanks,
Leigh Ann
