I would really like for Rob Brydon to record an audiobook of How Green Was My Valley.  





Or perhaps John Cale.



Yes, these are the only Welsh people I can think of.

How Green Was My Valley is a bit waffly and a bit long, but it's so beautifully written that you hardly notice.. although I did skim a bit towards the end.  The Welsh grammar makes it lyrical and musical and the words just flow.  Is this how all Welsh people talk?  I'll have to go there to find out.
