- From The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes comes The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter.
I don't quite know why I've had an aversion to this story for so long. I had forgotten that Mycroft, Holmes' brother appears in it. Enjoyed recording it this morning! Good to be doing more Sherlock stories after such a long gap. More to come!
Lunch time!

Great reading! I always love the glimpses we get of Victorian medical care :) Looks like smoke inhalation! Quick, nurse, brandy and ammonia! We haven't much time!
😆😆😆
😅😊😅
just when you think Greg Wagland's voice acting can't get any better
Thanks to Greg's reading, bringing ACD's stories so admirably to life, I realize what an able command of English Mr. Doyle possessed. One really needs to hear his stories and not just read them.
Yes, I agree. They are very easy to read out loud, luckily for me, which I take to be a sign of fine writing. Conrad is the same.
You're right - Greg has revealed the brilliance of Doyle's writing.
I'm not aware of what UA-cam dilemma that you did have mr. Wagland, however I would like to tell you 😊 that you are as superb as always in your narrations. I feel so grateful to be able to listen to you.you are as I have said before the only one that I listen to, and as I have already said many times before nobody can touch you. Hope that you are well, and continue with your narrations of Sherlock Holmes or whatever, because with your talent you bring life to each character that you portray just with the sound of your amazing voice. You have such a talent!!!!! Best wishes always!!!!!
You have truly found your talent! How gracious of you to share your gift with us. I enjoy it so much
Excellent readings! The best Watson narrator out there!
I love these readings so much. I know the stories but your readings open them up in new ways, which is such a gift. And your reading manages to be both exciting and soothing at the same time. Miraculous! Thank you.
Yes! Such a rare talent
well said
Definitely
Yes hats off to Arthur explaining expressions..
One of my favourite story, Mycroft is really an interesting character
Finally you've been able to upload a new Sherock Holmes story, you very rarely fail to disappoint with the way you portray Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's masterpieces that you are somehow able to bring to life from the pages you read to the ears of those who love to hear you reading the life & times of Holmes & Watson as you somehow make these stories feel like your listeners are actually taken back to the late 1800's with the great voices & accents of these characters as we drift off to sleep, thanks Greg, great work m8ty, cheers 🍻 from 🇦🇺
Very kind of you JMF.
All the best!
Greg Wagland's range is incredible his tone and voices are always very well done and I think it is excellently shown in this reading.
Thanks Lake. Kind of you - I remember rather fearing doing this one.
Thank you so much for this, Greg! I really enjoy listening to all of these Sherlock Holmes stories that you do! 😊. I’ve been a huge Sherlock Holmes fan ever since my mother introduced me to the Granada tv series starring Jeremy Brett and David Burke/Edward Hardwick as Dr. John Watson when I was about 10 years old. 😊. To this day, in my personal opinion, Jeremy Brett is still the best actor to play Sherlock Holmes although Basil Rathbone and Benedict Cumberbatch did amazing jobs as well! 😊. My mother also bought me The Complete Sherlock Holmes book series for my 11th Birthday. About a year and a half ago I was able to travel to England and while we were in London for four days, my sister and I went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker St. It was amazing being there! I loved London and I really want to go back someday. I really look forward to your next Sherlock Holmes story reading! Have a great week! 😊
Thanks Steve for your comments. Brett was brilliant: total commitment to the role.
Best wishes
Very comforting, you are certainly by far the best story teller!
I can’t go to bed before listening to one of these stories! I’m on my second, third and fourth listens on most of them by now! The Yellow Face is my favorite.
Yes. I like that one.
The Yellow Face is one of my favourites too.

Thank you Mr. Wagland, a new Sherlock Holmes audiobook is truly a gift to your faithful listeners. So happy your UA-cam dilemma has ended and wishing you all the best in future endeavors!
Kind of you, Scotticus! Hoping it's sorted.
Totally agree.
Yay! Mycroft!
Happy new year dear fellow listeners and to our wonderful Magpie team.
There's no team in I. In fact, it's just me.
Cheers David.
Right on time! I am exhausted for the day and there is nothing better than this! Just having to always listen to your narration really gives wonders~ 😁
I'll never get tired listening to you.. 👏
Ta very much Shay B.
Great reading!
Greg, your SH stories is what drew me to your channels. Having loved reading them for many years, your channel was a wonderful find and I find much joy in listening to your readings. Glad you’ve promised more! Take Care
Cheers JM. Thanks.
I've discovered this Channel over the time if Quarantine. I've been having problems with falling asleep during the last year and you soothing voice really made this Problem Almost non existent. Some cases I've heard multiple times but I never get tired of hearing them.
Love these stories. I listen to them on my way to sleep. Great way to relax .
My favorite bedtime stories.
Kind of you to say so, MsKGBabe
Been going through UA-cam looking for audiobooks for my 93 year old blind mother. I came across your Sherlock Holmes. I am sure she will enjoy them. Of course, I will listen to them also. I have always been obsessed with Holmes. I smoke a pipe and keep my tobacco in a Persian slipper. Now if I could only find a lady named Mrs Hudson to clean up after me my life would be complete.
Hope you both enjoy them! All the best!
Congratulations on creating an amazing UA-cam video! Your hard work and creativity really shine through in every frame. The way you presented the content was so clear and easy to understand. I was truly captivated from start to finish. Your talent for engaging viewers is incredible. Keep up the fantastic work and know that you have a dedicated fan here who can't wait to see what you create next!
Thanks for uploading! These are always so enjoyable to listen to. You're quite the talented voice actor and it really shows in this one: You're renditions of the voices, your tone, pacing _et cetera_ brought the story to life so professionally (just like all the other uploads). I like how you reflected Mycroft's lethargy in his voice. It's one thing for Doyle to describe it, but wholly another to actually hear it when he speaks. Your depiction achieved the aura of an intelligent man struggling to stay awake and interested perfectly. I never envisioned that and it was a pleasant surprise to hear. My favourite voice though has to be your portrayal of the giggling villain. That's just how I would have pictured him sounding, eerily horrifying as he coldly stammers out his threats amidst involuntary sniggers. That was just a delight to hear. I had to go back and listen to those lines again. He's such a creepy character and it was enjoyable to hear the lines actualized. He's one of Doyle's antagonists that you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley. Enough tired ramblings from me. All the best!
Cheers Kyle. Glad you liked the nutty villain 😀 etc. For Mycroft I merely channeled my inner sloth - easy peasy. Ciao.
A dark story, excellently performed!
I had forgotten about this one. Just had to revisit after a conversation about Mycroft yesterday. Thank you.
Your voice for the older man Kemp is genuinely unsettling, great work
Yay another Sherlock Holmes!!!
True dat.
Ta!
Ah what a wonderful thing to discover settled down with a cup of tea on a rainy Saturday! Thanks :)
Miserable weather! Warmer in Feb!
All the best.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio It's already too "warm" here in Philippines.. The rain helps me survive the heat~ 😂
There'll be a few more pours within the week and I think it's a good thing haha. Not that horrible.. 🤣
Whaooo Christmas has come early. Greg's realised another Sherlock Holmes story.
I love Sherlock Homes
I love Sherlock Holmes stories to.
But it's the very talented Mr Wagland that make these so special.
Cheers Orson!
Welcome back! I/We have missed you very much.
Never have I ever been more glad to c a youtube video ..... Amazing to c u r back....keep posting 😍😍 Missed ur videos
I love your reading, thank you for this priceless effort ❤️
Glad you like it! Cheers Samudini Alexander!
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio 🥂
Thank you 😊
No problem
Oh my was I excited to see this post! Thank you Mr. Wagland!
Glad you liked!
Thanks for another fine audiobook of SH adventures.
I am falling asleep to these stories in order but I've been so sleepy that I only get a few words in this last 10 😊 nights or so. So this video has probably seen itself receiving at least that many clicks and sometimes I wake in the night and have to go back to the Greek interpreter again and again and again ~so maybe twice that many!. Finally finished early this morning with only a few minutes remaining, finally enjoying the end with my coffee! I mean, the suspense was getting pretty epic by then, lol!
Thank you Greg. You are magic!
Glad it gets you off to sleep! Cheers Frenchbleu - talking of which where’s that cheese!
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio oh wow, yeah, fromage bleu that's a first, lol! I usually get, 'if you're French why are you talking about American politics', haha.
I'm afraid the screen name raison d'etre is a lot less exciting. French blue ~ favorite colour, 8~favorite/lucky number 🥱
Thank you again Greg, it's lovely when you reply, lets us know for sure you're actually reading our comments here, which is a good thing! You'll always be reminded of how much you are appreciated!💙
Well narrated. The Greek Interpreter is the first story I've read featuring Mycroft Holmes in some capacity. Truly remarkable!
Indeed. Mycroft is an extraordinary creature.
a very thin mystery with a hasty solution - but it does introduce Mycroft in a witty way
Yes. I think that's why I dislike it... I've always had what I thought was an irrational dislike of it.
I do rather like the villain. The English man with the nervous giggle is a breath of fresh air compared to the parade of vengeful characters from foreign countries who get caught and tell their entire life story in relief.
I swear, every time I hope for a good old whodunnit and every time Sherlock goes off somewhere without Watson and returns with an unknown third party who talks all about his life as an African candle-maker who swore revenge against the victim who fled from African Candlemakertown after commiting African candlemaking crimes.
Fortunately the Granada TV episode improves on the original story
Adore... Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Many lovely compliments from quite a few of us who really love your voice. Please reread when you are feeling down. It's not always about the numbers (but I do realize) quantity matters from a monetary point of view. You have a gift Greg and I am really happy you changed your mind regarding this particular story. :)
Cheers Marisa.
I do value all the comments for sure.
Thanks for your support :-)
This is one of my favorite Holmes stories. Fantastic reading!
Glad you enjoyed it!
By Jove, these readings are extraordinary
Cheers Jackson.
I really don't believe or understand YT's figures 24 thousand views and only 309 likes(22dislikes)is for any video, but particularly this one, just un freakin' believable. Just isn't logical
It does seem a bit low to me, but hey, we are all trapped in the Al Gore Rhythm.
I am a twig on the back of the stream. Whither and away?
Nice!!! Already listened to it! What a great surprise!!!
Made my day!
Very nice reading, very good tale.
Coincidentally, enjoying this reading on its 3-year anniversary. Thank you!
thank you Greg for all you do and yah Sherlock is back .
I really do enjoy listening to your recordings. Your vocal protrail of characters really makes it easy to visualise the storys. I love Sherlock Holmes and have read every one myself and how you do Sherlock's voice is exactly how I imagined how he would sound.
Please continue making these I know there isn't many left.
I also think your voice would be amazing for Neil Gaiman books like neverwhere.
Yes, not many left, Heather. Will get on with them soon (he said with crossed fingers).
Cheers!
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio glad to hear your wanting to make more and while I wait for more i shall content myself with re listening from the start.
Brilliant channel! Thank you!
Cheers!
A Real treat at bedtime thank you Greg 👍😎👌
This is how I fall asleep every .
Ha! Glad to know it helps!
There's more?! You, sir, deserve a knighthood -- or at the very least, to be called Mr. Greg Wagland, Esquire.
Thanks Greg for narrating another of the stories. I'd love to hear the Bruce-Partington Plans one day!
One day Jo Ro.
This reminds me of the episode abominable bride
Always great to listen a great story
You made my day. Brilliant!
Glad!

Wonderfully done as always, a great many thanks.
Thank you, you have made my evening
Quelle voix parfaite pour narrer les histoires de Sherlock Holmes!!!
Merci beaucoup Sophie
This is so wonderful!
Haven’t clicked on a video faster in my life!❤️
Be careful - there's probably a health and safety warning required for quick clicking.
Sherlock Holmes Stories Magpie Audio For these recordings I’m willing to take the risk😂
Whatever happened to delayed gratification...?
Excellent, much better than going to old Trafford and watch United play
When I first read the Holmes stories as a boy 60 years ago, I was always disappointed in the stories without a resolution - this one, the 5 Orange Pips, et al. I liked the way the Jeremy Brett version of this story had a resolution added. (Except Mycroft holding a derringer and calling it a revolver at the end). Anyway, thank you for your excellent performance!
Great!! I am vietnamese
Would love to visit Vietnam! I hear it's a great destination for tourists.
Thank you and best wishes!
Ur voice is damn good
Mycroft! Yay!
He doesn't pop up as often as you might think!
Anyone find the ending of this chilling story a little bit sudden ? I found myself wishing for Holmes’s detailed explanation of it all! Although I guess we already understand what went on. So mysterious...and is the Greek woman free, in the end ?
Conan Doyle allows I suppose that even in the world of Sherlock Holmes, not every truth and mystery can come to be neatly confined within the known.
Great narration! But found this particular tale on the dull side..no gasps of surprise at the end😮
great. thanks
😍 ohh how terribly wonderful to find this new recording.
One of my favorites.
Another fantastic chapter. Can you please upload adventure number 38 please. I have listened to all no. 1 to 41. This adventure was missing so thanks for uploading it. Just need no. 38 now. Also after adventure number 41, will there be more?
Will try to work out what number 38 is!
There will be more.
Thanks Thuan for your comment. All the best.
I was wondering if you were ever going to get over this aversion of yours and try your luck at a Greek accent. Nice job. And welcome back.
Thank you DarthWill3. Greek accent? - a hybrid - Harry Enfield's Stavros, Yanis Varoufakis and Nana Mouskouri, put through the Nutribullet of my mind and served with a garnish of prayer and desperation.
You are so excellent Actor, Greg. High above the skills which we understand under "reader". After discovering you I cant stop to listen to your stories every single night, In my opinion your Sherlock is better then Bretts - more dimensional. And thank to your reading I discovered how interesting the relation between Watson and Sherlock was - no one film provided me this understanding so clear as you. You make every figure so vividly alive. It is so good that you can share your gift with us. Pure pleasure to listen to you.. Thank you!
Hi Babcia Mira. I greatly appreciate your kind and thoughtful words. All the best.
Babcia Mira - exactly what I think!
thanks
Superb 💕
YESSSSS!!!! 🕺☝🏾
Here we go again 😁😘
They in the Granada version of Sherlock Holmes made, in my opinion, an excellent choice in having Charles Gray play Mycroft Holmes and now hearing the books ending I think it was a good artistic choice in how that episode ended. Sadly the american version (Elementary, which I am a huge fan of) of Mycroft Holmes, the missed in my opinion both. Having animosity against each other or rather Sherlock against Mycroft was very wrong. Hearing Mr. Wagland do the voice of Wilson Kemp was good but George Costigan played a very creepy Wilson Kemp.
George Costigan - great actor.
The description of Mycroft is just Stephen Fry))
Very possibly.
Cool UA-cam!
Yippee ki yay
Indeed.
Beautifully read, and introducing Mycroft, a singular oddity. Pity the story itself is somewhat meh. Think Arthur was thinking about something else when he wrote this.
Yes, agreed, a little bit meh plot wise. But quite rich in terms of characters and backstory and all that stuff...
Very high focus in characters and atmosphere, which made it pleasant to listen to.
But it's a real shame to introduce a mind even greater than Holmes, only to bring in a mystery so simple that Watson could solve most of it, and not even bring the story to a satisfactory conclusion.
Hell, Mycroft's advertisement nearly got the interpreter killed, and neither of the Holmes brothers had made precautions against it. Unthinkable!
It's baffling to consider that between Sherlock, Mycroft and Gregson, Watson turned out to be the only one who really did anything in this tale to help the client.
@@tomdekler9280 IMHO the explanation is simple: you remember how Sherlock and Mycroft chat about the Diogenes club members, completely immersed in their observation and logical thinking. I think it was precisely because Sherlock and Mycroft worked together that they forgot about precautions. When they´re together, they sort of escape into their own world and become a bit too careless.
👌
42:50 the man with glasses drew a "life - preserver" ? According to auto correct. Or are the captions correct and it's some ironic joke? Because he drew a pistol right?
Yahoo!!! 💖
Just a bookmark 16:10
Can anyone explain to me what happened to Sophie? Thank you. Without knowing that, this seems unfinished to me.

THANK YOU PLEASE DO THE Harry Potter SERIES!
COPYRIGHT SABIRA
Do you want me thrown into prison and the key thrown away with JK Rowling poking me with a stick through the bars? Because that would be the outcome!!! ;-)
Stephen Fry has done it, for ready money, as has Jim Dale.
Jim Dale gets a lot of love for his versions, and he's a British institution living in NY.
There used to be naughty pirated versions of Fry on YT, but they were (rightly) removed.
For safety re: copyright it has to be US rules and that's works written before 1923, possibly 24 now.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio I would not wish jail upon you. But recording audiobooks in your cellar may not be too grim. Jim Dale's HP narrations are great, but I only found up to Prisoner of Azkaban on YT. Anyway, didn't know the bit about copyright, thanks for Sherlock Holmes!
@@sabirasolaiman Recording audiobooks takes more time and work than you seem to think. To put in weeks or months of work in order to pay a fine... it just isn´t worth it. Speaking as an author of a book that took 4,5 years of full-time work to write... of course there´s copyright, authors need to eat and pay rent. Not J.K. Rowling´s case, she´s rich, but copyright´s there to ensure authors didn´t work to starve.
How to write like sir canon doyle
