    I have listened to nearly all of your Sherlock Holmes stories and I can't get enough of them! This is exactly what Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must sound like, I will not accept anything else. The way you bring them to life is unrivalled. When I have listened to all the stories I am sure to suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
    Best wishes from Germany!

    So many a night I find myself listening to the narration for much longer than I had intended just because I am so captivated by the talent of the reader. I've listened to other readers and have been able to fall asleep quickly because I don't get so wrapped up in the stories the way I do when listening to this reading. I am so glad I came across this great talent. Even if I am a little tired in the morning from staying awake to hear more! Lol

The Beetle 🪲 is a very cool story too that I probably never would have heard if it wasn’t for him. Although I do remember selling a set for someone I used to work for 😆 (before I heard it)
      As a younger, err.. I mean as a younger middle aged writer who also has brain injury issues that have affected my reading and writing abilities and habits a good deal his audiobooks have helped me re-kindle my love of literature.

      Arthur Conan Doyle had no first-hand experience of India. Although, his creation Dr. Watson has served as a surgeon in the British-Indian Royal Army, where he was wounded during the Second Afghan War, and later returned to England. Sir Arthur had read books about India as well as many travellers' experience. I believe that's how he got to know about many such things in India.

    Doyle was given the idea for the backstory here by real happenings here in America. The roots of the story lie in the Anthracite region of the northern coal fields and the miners struggling there for a decent living.The head of the Pinkerton Detective Agency , Alan Pinkerton, spoke with Doyle about this underlying story during an ocean voyage. The real story is about the "Molly Maguires. Twenty innocent men were hung illegally by the coal combination , a corporation , in a Pennsylvania County jail and tried by the state of Pennsylvania. We here in coal country call it ," The day of the rope".

      @wmnoffaith1 3 роки тому +3

      @@jimlaguardia8185 yes, I would say that he did want his stories read. However, we must not forget that many of these were written in the days before radio, or television and even before electricity in many small towns; especially for the working class, whose lifestyle didn't include late formal dinners served by footmen, or evenings attending the theater, the symphony or large country house parties dancing or playing whist, bridge or piquet.
      The poor and working classes ate supper early, and went to bed shortly after it became dark. One of their most common evening entertainments was to tell stories by the fire, or read a story aloud from one of the weekly papers or magazines. Most of the Sherlock Holmes stories were originally published in The Strand magazine in serial form, and probably were read aloud by one person for the enjoyment of others. Plus not all of the poorest classes could read, so to have someone read a story aloud would be the only way they would get to hear it.

    I'm so glad to hear the Sherlock Holmes stories instead of reading them. Though I am an "academic," the older writing style does not lend itself to "reading." I believe since Watson is the narrator that to have the stories actually read is a boon to the genre. As Jeremy Brett is the consummate film Sherlock Holmes, so Gregg Wayland is the voice of the stories in audio. I've been so happy listening to the stories and happy to see how well the film versions reflect the original works of Sir Doyle. I should be listening for a long time and have re-listened to a few thus far. Thank you so much for an intelligent and excellent voice for these works.

    Fruit cakes! I'm so sorry. I was forced to give up making them years ago when exotic fruits preserved and imbued with West Indies rum became too dear. No one any longer understands fruit cakes. I miss them, too.

      Fruit cakes indeed! I would contend there are many more fruit cakes around these days.
      I do like a moist slice of Dundee (Villeroy and Boch Casale Blu) and a cup of English Breakfast.
      Failing that 2/3rds of an inch of Battenberg on a dull turqoise Denby.

    Dear Sir,
    You are the Jeremy Brett of audio Holmes interpreters. I can even see the original Strand Magazine Padget illustrations in your voice. (If that can be imagined. And I hope it can.)
    I downloaded your War of the Worlds reading recently. Excellent.
    I was wondering if you had thought of adding H. Rider Haggard to your corpus. Or Fantomas. Or Algernon Blackwood. Or more H.G. Wells.
    I’d listen to anything you read, tbh.
    It’s wonderful. Like the glorious early days of radio.
    Thank you.

    • @sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio
      @sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio  3 роки тому +2

      I really like Rider Haggard. Wonder if some of them might be a little edgy in these days of historical trepidation and nervousness. As for Blackwood or Fantomas my knowledge is a little limited. Thanks for the suggestions. Glad you liked War of the Worlds.

Its not based on a true story, just an imagining of the tales written about someone who actually existed.

      actually a book cipher was rather secure back then [before computers] as you not only needed the correct book, you ALSO needed the correct edition. A simple Caesar's cipher or shift cipher is simply a shifting of the letters of the alphabet a fixed amount. IF a person is literate this code can be used with just paper and pen.
