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!
I think that they sound very similar to the actors Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. They played Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, respectively. That's who I see in my minds eye when listening.
When I think of sherlock holmes I hear your voice in my mind. I'll admit sometimes it's Jeremy Brett but usually it's you lol. You are.. the life that comes off the page for me. You immerse me in that period with these characters. So..thank you.
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

I just think you should know... you are the reason I now love Sir Arthur’s work. I could listen to your reading all day long. You set the scene so well! Thank you x
I’ve had the same experience. Your reading style is premier. I’ve listened to stories here, including SH, that would otherwise not have interested me just because you were the reader (and I’ve enjoyed every single one!).
Yea I always liked Sherlock Holmes (And Sir Arthur) but Mr. Wagland here is the reason I absolutely love his works and basically every story he’s read. 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.
Once again I wish to say your portrayal of both Sherlock and Watson are perfection.... But I bet most listeners don't appreciate all the " other" voices in the reading. You seem to move effortlessly.... Great job!
I agree completely! The voice work is simply amazing. I feel like I'm listening to a full-cast radio production. I've loved these stories since childhood. Thank you so much, Mr. Wagland, for creating these wonderful recordings!
Thank you for these great audio book. I can finally listen to something without feeling guilt for wasting my time. Because ever Sherlock Holmes story takes time and this time is well spent.
Masterful, masterful,masterful! The Valley of Fear is one of my favorite stories and is read by one of the most acclaimed narrators of our time, Greg Wagland. Well done, sir, in bringing the story to life!
So far I am thoroughly impressed with this narrative. Recently became a fan of "reading/listening to sherlock Holmes stories." This puts you right in the mindset.
Amazing reading, so skillful a narrator Mr. Wagland is simply the best. So many characters and personalities come alive. This part 1 of the story was brilliantly done, and part 2 just as great. Thank you! Great story, such a wonderful discovery.
Perfect, paradoxically exciting and calming nature of the way you narrate the SH stories, I find myself recommending your narratives (not leaving C.Doyle aside…:) to my patients, both treating lack of excitement and insomnia at the same time. Masterpiece, Mr Wagland!
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio 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.
Im trying to improve my english pronunciation skill..thanks to you guys now I can do it by listening to my favourite stories which I previously read in Bangla translation... And my God it is helping a lot...thanks a lot guys!
Your readings have carried me through numerous long evenings and a great many workdays.

Loved it every bit of it. The narration was so good the story really holds you I thought I will just listen for 1 hour today and guess what i completed the whole part 1 😂😀🙏 that's the magic of sir Conan Doyle, Now on too part-2.
So grateful for this! So glad to have found this. I'm a student with additional support needs and need to read this for uni and I was really struggling. I'm so relieved, audiobooks are so much easier for me. Thank you ❤

a smoke,a coffee then lights out...iaying in the dark...my Westie curled upon my belly,phone by my head listening to Sherlock Holmes while drifting down the streets of olden days England and sleep.
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".
Crisp and clear reading. The intonation perfect. Obviously his French is excellent too. Absolutely thrilling as of Holmes' adventures are, I think perhaps this is what Sir Conon Doyle wanted the reader of the Valley of fear to feel and experience. Well done sir
@@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.
Magnificent, as usual!! I don't love this novel as much as other Sherlock adventures, but listening to your interpretation of the characters (particularly, Holmes himself 😍) really makes it worth it and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I really cannot listen to any other Sherlocks now, because your voice has become HIS voice in my mind, and no other narrator can match you. I love your voice and your Sherlock voice so much!!! 💜 Thank you so much for sharing this and all of Sherlock's adventures! You rock!! Now, on to part 2! 😘
You are an artist! For the way you read the stories makes me feel like the scene are happening right in front of me. You paint a sketch before my eyes ... Love your voice Sir
Your reading voice is wonderful. The characters came alive, life seemed to jump off the page for me. you are doing well. Wishing the best things will come to you. Thank you!
I am really loving this one Greg. I thought I had read every Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but I don't remember this one. Superb story-telling and a smashing voice! I can't wait for Part Two!
Remember there were 4 "novellas" besides the 56 short adventures that make up the Holmes Canon. The 4 novellas were (1) A Study in Scarlet, (2) The Sign of Four, (3) The Hound of the Baskervilles and (4) The Valley of Fear in that order.
So captivating and mystifying your voice down to how you read and voice this series is very calming. Thank you very much for all the hard work! Cant wait for part 2 you make me so curious 😊😅❤
at last💖💖💖 I've been longing to listen to this book. I've finished it before yet i know it would be tremendously brilliant hearing it being read by you sir Greg... thank you so much for uploading this. can't wait for the other half of it.😊
How are you getting on now? The (expertly done) Scots accent won't help you when you're beginning. But will be good to get those extra accents into your 'ear' once you've learned the language a bit better. Interested to learn of your progress.
Wonderfully read..I usually listen whilst cooking, and have burnt many a dish as Mr. Waglan's mellifluous voice transfixes me!! But...where is Part 2???
Addicted to Greg’s readings of these Sherlock Holmes stories👍He could do many accents👏🏻👏🏻I laughed at his ‘inspector Mcdonald’ one! It was just amazing!!
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.
Has it ever occurred to you that you are in the exact situation as our beloved Arthur Conan Doyle-- wanting to take a break from Sherlock Holmes but trapped by your devoted readers demanding more? Perhaps you need a Swiss vacation, e.g. Reichenbach Falls?! Thanks for your work.
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.
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.
This is so entertaining, I love Greg's voice & can't really listen to anyone else reading Holmes now as Mr Wagland seems to have captured the characters so well. Is Part 2 coming out soon?
Hi Greg, will there be part 2? I really hope there will be as I keep coming every month to check. I just can't ruin the story by listening to a different narrator.
Hi Greg, just wanna thank you for your excellent job you have done. I wonder if you can put a time-lamps for part one and two of The Valley of Fear like you did for The Sign of Four? It will help me a lot to track my reading. Thank you
@@lynns189 it's loosely based on some guy from the pinkerton detective agency. And I mean "loosely". Doyle read a few stories in the paper and used his exploits as a basis for aspects of this story. Its not based on a true story, just an imagining of the tales written about someone who actually existed.
Dear Greg, I wish I could send you a real fruitcake so instead here’s a round of appreciative applause from across the great pond 👏🏻🎉💞💁🏻♀️ thanks so much!
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.
I will wait, full of "nervous energy" until your "extraordinary narrative" capabilites bring this story to it's logical conclusion. "Hope in the flowers"

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.

Is your narrative in response to the ending of this episode ? I am completely puzzled.

Wonderfully read..I usually listen whilst cooking, and have burnt many a dish as Mr. Waglan's mellifluous voice transfixes me!! But...where is Part 2???
It is ‘in the pipeline’ possibly
A new story to me 😊. Beautifully read, thank you!
Thanks for listening, Linda
Addicted to Greg’s readings of these Sherlock Holmes stories👍He could do many accents👏🏻👏🏻I laughed at his ‘inspector Mcdonald’ one! It was just amazing!!
I love Sir Aurthors stories!
Part 2 please Sir
💙 from India
Edit: I recently found out about existence of part two. 😅😅😅
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.
Fruit Cakes ! YES PLS
I'm from Aberdeenshire Scotland and I must agree to the comment that the reader's Scottish accent is Very good
Fab! Such a talented narrator!
Has it ever occurred to you that you are in the exact situation as our beloved Arthur Conan Doyle-- wanting to take a break from Sherlock Holmes but trapped by your devoted readers demanding more? Perhaps you need a Swiss vacation, e.g. Reichenbach Falls?! Thanks for your work.
😂😂
Re: The holiday to Reichenbach Falls. NOT IN THESE SHOES!
brilliant as usual ....
Greg Wagland is my favorite reader. He is very talented !!
I'll go along with that, sunflowerz ;-)
I like what Holmes has to say about his own possible marriage and what he would expect from his wife.
Greg, you are the best!
Kind of you, Jim!
Ideal work! Thank you!
You're welcome!
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.
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.
Maybe I can help ,my grandfather read a great deal of these stories.
Can I help you atall?
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio That is a misspelling - phantoms 👻
Eric I do enjoy your comments
Eric not fantom but PHANTOMS
This is so entertaining, I love Greg's voice & can't really listen to anyone else reading Holmes now as Mr Wagland seems to have captured the characters so well. Is Part 2 coming out soon?
It's possible but not imminent.
I think Simon Vance's version can be found somewhere nearby but not sure it's legit.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio I did see there were other complete audiobooks of it online but I am now spoilt and can only listen to Greg's versions.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio AAAAAAA
Yes
Thank s
Thank you very much!
Excellent... Thank you!
Hi Greg, will there be part 2? I really hope there will be as I keep coming every month to check. I just can't ruin the story by listening to a different narrator.
yes
Any chance for Part 2? I really enjoy your reading and would love to hear it in your presentation.
yes
I am as inpatient as the two detectives, wanting to know more
3 years on I am listening to this again. Damm I had read the book already and even watched a bit made on it
Are you referring to the ending of this episode ? I am completely puzzled, is there an adjoining 2nd part I missed ?
Hi Greg, just wanna thank you for your excellent job you have done. I wonder if you can put a time-lamps for part one and two of The Valley of Fear like you did for The Sign of Four? It will help me a lot to track my reading. Thank you
This is on par with nick Williams,of Hobbit fame,thanks for this it's,my new bed time book,.🌛🌜🌚
the gun was made to be concealed. That is why the barrels are sawn.
Thank you Greg !!
Up to your USUAL HIGH STANDARDS...Cannot wait for your next installment-but I will have too...
Can you believe this amazing story is based on a real life story?
Really? Please expound…
@@lynns189 it's loosely based on some guy from the pinkerton detective agency. And I mean "loosely". Doyle read a few stories in the paper and used his exploits as a basis for aspects of this story. Its not based on a true story, just an imagining of the tales written about someone who actually existed.
@@lynns189it's based on the Molly McGuires and James McParland detective of Pinkerton Agency. Read up. It's very interesting
@@MegaGandalf12no.. Its not, as explained above it's got very loose links to them but nothing more
Dear Greg, I wish I could send you a real fruitcake so instead here’s a round of appreciative applause from across the great pond 👏🏻🎉💞💁🏻♀️ thanks so much!
Cheers Felene. Applause accepted! Bows.
Part 2 someday no one else does this justice :)
Some day...
No one
Unbelievably captivating reading Sir, you have a rear gift....
Who makes a cipher which doesn't scramble the only keywords which will tell your enemies exactly what you're writing about?
Probably me.
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.
Thank you ❤️
I’m in love with the series
Cheers Rese - glad you're enjoying it.
Happy New Year to you, Greg!
I’m stqrting it with a re-run of this one! 🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️
Greg Wagland is our times Jeremy Brett, and that is no small feat.
dont you mean clive merrison?
Greg is both of them at the same time.
I will wait, full of "nervous energy" until your "extraordinary narrative" capabilites bring this story to it's logical conclusion.
"Hope in the flowers"
