Back when I used to work at Fox TV, we aired a version of this a few times and it was the one that Ken Nordine voiced. That was the "Arabian Knight" version. Ken Nordine's thief talked constantly. Ken Nordine has a distinctive voice, and had an NPR show called "Word Jazz." Here's a link to the website for that so you can get a sense of his voice: http://www.wordjazz.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsect ion&id=5&Itemid=32
The Thief voiced by Ken Nordine sounded exactly like that, including the dreamy talking-to-himself quality of it. Absolutely endless banter.
Actually, I just found this on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwNebK5AooA That sounds like Ken Nordine, but it is credited as Winters. I wonder if the person who uploaded it mislabled it as Arabian Knight when it was really The Thief and The Cobbler...?
