Carol Jordan Stewart is an award winning audiobook narrator who has recorded over 300 titles. Along with her work as a commercial narrator, she records books for the Talking Book Program of the Library of Congress. She lives in Louisville, Kentucky. The library of Congress database lists her first name spelt with an additional ‘e’ (ie Carole) but in all other online listings it is not spelt that way, so this is either a typo or perhaps she dropped the ‘e’.

So far there have been three readings of The Hobbit by the Library of Congress.
