From the piece...
After self-publishing Wish, the poet (he’s published several volumes of poetry previous to Wish) contacted fellow British literary offspring and actor Gerard Dickens, who agreed to read the audio version of the book. Tolkien tells The Guardian:
“I worked with Gerald after considering and deciding against various possible readers with the help of my agent,” said Tolkien. “I had heard his Dickens readings [Dickens has narrated audiobooks of titles including The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist] and felt he had great professional stature as an actor: a remarkable range of tones and shades of emphasis both in narrative and in dialogue.”
