  This man could read the installation instructions for a ceiling fan and I would still give him my complete and pure attention because it would be beautiful.

  Gerald Durrell wrote the funniest book I’ve ever read “My Family and Other Animals”. Simply can’t read it without weeping with laughter. &nbsp;Now it turns out he wrote the funniest, expressive and most beautiful love letter. Such a letter! &nbsp;Oh to be the recipient of such a wonderful, descriptive, human and honest declaration. <br>Tom Hiddleston reads this wonderfully and brings every breath of love and nuance to life.

  Obviously I like Tom Hiddleston as much as the next person, but what&apos;s truly terrifying about this is knowing that this is a real letter. It is so easy to dismiss romance from film and literature because they are works of fiction... but this is real! How do you move on with life knowing that such great love does exist in the real world? I am incredibly jealous of Gerald Durrell and Lee McGeorge to have loved and been loved like this at least at one point of their lives. I&apos;m left feeling sad and utterly helpless...

  Tom could read the Terms and Conditions like a bedtime story and I&apos;d drift off to heaven.

  I think you can tell that Mr Hiddleston relishes the beauty of the writing!

  I miss the cut glass British accent, I hope it never dies out - especially in actors :(

  I&apos;d just like to add that this letter was not in vain. Gerard and Lee did get married and stayed married until Gerard&apos;s death.

  Hiddleston is my favourite in all these letter readings so far. His pace and tone are smooth, his voice is clear, not rushed. He becomes the letter writer.
