I am recovering from vitrectomy surgery which means my head must be horizontal for most of the day. I came across your readings and one week later I am thoroughly in love with the SH stories and forever grateful for your reading. Thank you for helping me to recover without even knowing it !
These are wonderful renditions indeed, all of them. Cannot thank you enough for giving me so much joy listening to the much loved stories all over again. Better than radio or TV.

Your way of interpreting all the characters of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a pure masterpiece. You know how to do it with subtlety and sensitivity. I will never tire of listening to your recordings! Thank you so much!
How wonderful to have a such a sensitive and attentive friend such as the doctor. Always ready and courageous. And with the ability to relate so brilliantly all the events of his and Holmes' events.
@2:10 Poor Watson, his aesthetic judgement so often maligned by Holmes. I recommend sometime that before breakfast he substitute salt for sugar and sugar for salt. That way Holmes can eat his eggs with sugar and have salt in his tea.
Doyle persists in a surprising flaw here that pervades all of his work and that is that he all too often has corpses bearing grimaces or faces contorted in horror with clenched fists and so on when that simply doesn’t happen and can’t happen. Muscles relax and go slack upon death. It’s curious that he didn't research this particular medical point when he found it so tempting to write about.
I would love it if there were more illustrations of the story and some sound mixing at the background. This would be the cherry topping to your charming story telling 😊
One of the best of Doyle’s stories. Superbly read by Mr Wagland, as always. Although I still don’t know what a “grange” is, despite hearing that word in British literature and British films all my life. They never say what it is. The definitions available online are multiple. Is it a farm?
The Abbey Grange is quite a great case, but with such an unexpected ending. I was quite struck by the make-believe trial with Holmes as Judge and Watson as Jury.
Thank you for creating this channel after the other vanished/ was deleted (?) I absolutely love listening to Greg Wagland and I love Sherlock Holmes so thanks for reuploading and everything!
🇨🇦 In decades of human service, I too have placed true Justice above by-the-book blinkers at times -- always with a moral core that I'd defend proudly in Court if needed.
Thank you!😀 Before it was halfway through I had figured it out - just not the name - but did guess the occupation & the relationship & the motive. Excellent ! Just heartwarmingly excellent!! Thank you !! 🌟👏😀👏🌟
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio that has to be it.... although I'm worried now i will visualise a Blue rinse in my minds eye as i listen to the Aussie characters 😊
Consider for a moment the possibility that the most cold-hearted, calculating, and accomplished villain in the entire Sherlock Holmes canon is not Professor Moriarty, but rather an innocent-looking young Australian woman who, having decided to murder her husband for his money, first manipulates a kind-hearted but slow-witted sailor into doing the actual killing for her, next effortlessly induces him and her own maid to cover up all evidence of the crime, and finally, without so much as saying a word or lifting a finger, convinces Holmes not to turn her in to the police.
😰NOT Gaslighting & conspiracies! We have them in excess nowadays. 1940's "Rebecca" (DuMaurier-Hitchcock) got it too, Max attacked as a manipulator. Idiotic😡
While I love the outcome of this story I cannot help but think that another great fictional detective, Hercules Poirot, would not/ could not be as magnanimous as Holmes in rendering judgment. Under no circumstances could he let a murderer off the hook.

No no - the English banished criminals to Australia in the 1800s, perhaps even earlier, from what’s been told about it. That’s how they populated the territory. The criminals generally spoke cockney English, so that their children and the population in general were raised hearing only cockney English. And, lamentably, that grew to be the accepted form of speech in Australia. Still is, although some overcome it. So if this lady were “raised in southern Australia,” as Doyle says, presumably she’d have spoken with an Australian accent. I haven’t time to research the history of Adelaide, but that seems likely.
The past tense of the word shine is shone and, pronounced correctly, ,rhymes with phone, lone, tone, stone, bone, cone, drone, or mown, sewn, roan, etc. it is NOT pronounced "shawn."
I like this story. :) But that one needless, racist line in the middle of the murderer's story taints a lot of this adventure for me, unfortunately... By all other accounts I like this story and find the murderer to be a person with a great heart. I think that's why that line urks me so hard. If the abusive victim was saying racist things I wouldn't mind as he, after all, was framed in the wrong in this story. But since such a virtuous guy was saying it and it wasn't framed as wrong by anyone in the story, It's just... well, quite deeply upsetting.
Oh dear, how tragic. May I suggest that you limit yourself to texts written no later than 2020. You may find advertising copy for coffee, cars, or cats more acceptable. Otherwise, take a few aspirin and close your eyes for an afternoon.
Yes, it's a well known fact that human beings cannot reside together without having sex 🤭😉🤫😑 (I pray you never have children, sir. With that sort of thinking even a pet would be in danger living with you ) cheers!!
Surely not !! Good Grief, man, I am a heterosexual woman who, when I was young, shared a 700 square foot apartment while see both were going to the University, a handsome young, heterosexual man for 5 years (our Bachelors & 1st yrs of our Masters' degree) & he was my closest friend & we never crossed the line of a wonderful platonic relationship. Why does everything have to be about sex ?? There ARE other things that exist in this life & World ! But, you should dream on with your fantasy, if it gives you pleasure. Each to his own, Sir. 💫
I can't get my head around the beeswing. The glasses are described as two having clear wine and one having beeswing. How, then, were the dregs of the two poured into the one? How were the two even filled from that bottle, which was also full of beeswing?

@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio thank you, yes I am thankfully 😊
Have come across this a year later. I hope you are well recovered. : )
❤
Danielle, that sounds as if it would be maddening although you did say most.
These readings are as fascinating as the stories! Thank you !
Glad you like them!
I put one of these on every night as I go to bed and lay there relaxing after a busy day and lay there, enjoying all the characters.
There are some peculiar human beings among them, aren't there?
Me too
I am SHERLOCKED!!!!!! and Mr. Wagland your Sherlock Holmes audiobooks are truly a gift! Thank you very much
Cheers!
I've been falling asleep to these lately. Good dreams. Good days to follow. The stories will live for ever.
Glad to hear they promote good dreams and good days. What more can a man want! Cheers.
This reading is a great escape from stress. Very enjoyable.
Thanks Glenda. Glad you enjoyed it.

Greg thank you for All you do . Please keep these stories coming. Your Awesome. Sir Arthur conan Doyle would even be proud of you and your Work.
Thanks again for listening and commenting, Scott. Cheers.
These are wonderful renditions indeed, all of them. Cannot thank you enough for giving me so much joy listening to the much loved stories all over again. Better than radio or TV.
The best ones are when Holmes does what is right rather than what is legal. Hear, hear!!!
I know right =)
Would he do the same if the lady were a poor commoner?
@@tetyanas4026He would if he thought her to be of good character
Hopefully he would if a real gentleman.
I believe Holmes is and would.

Thank YOU Sophie for listening.
Thanks to you Greg, I’m a bigger Sherlockian than ever🙏🏻💖💖
Pleased to hear it, Annette.
Over the years of doing it I've realised there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
Greg there is one word for all your work.... Genius
How wonderful to have a such a sensitive and attentive friend such as the doctor. Always ready and courageous. And with the ability to relate so brilliantly all the events of his and Holmes' events.
Marvelous narration..I fear im becoming addicted to these SH adventures.
Lol same! Dont fear it, go with it :)
That is the kind of addiction that no one can feel bad about,
but I dread to think of what the withdrawal symptoms might be like!
Do you inject a 7% solution of Holmes? It's pretty great.
@@frankmcgovern5445 😂 good one
I've listened to all of them and am on my 2nd go round.
Why I love Holmes is because he believes that true justice is above the law.
You higiiuiuiuiui
Great job. Thank you for the service of providing these audiobooks
Pleasure, JT.
Thanks,Mr.Wagland for a great read .It would be great to hear some more classics,if available.
Thank you again and again!! Can't get enough of thses
Marvelous narration.
Kind of you, Greg
Another Greg - are we dying out?
Thank you so much for recording these. Your recordings bring joy to my heart!

Right 🤣 John is definitely blessed with patience.
@@willslingwood and a grand gift of silence...
i knew what Holmes would do :)
even though i’ve heard the story before, i’d forgotten some of it, so it was still surprising me !! 🌷🌼🐶

It's like Sir ACD is reading his stories to us!🎩
Thank you Katherine.
ACD had a definite Edinburgh accent.

Wow...i love the ending...holme is a very fair judge....
Sir Wagland I'm addicted!
Thx another great story and narrator.
*Holmes* was highly informative in this one w/ his unique knowledge
'The game is afoot' wonderful......
Greg, I don’t know how I missed this one! Love it! Thanks for a great reading 🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️
Another great reading. Thanks.
My absolute favorite, thank you very much for your narration! I even predicted how the case would turn out beforehand! ....with some pausing 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well done for predicting. That's why I throw in some much pausing in my reading! (That's my excuse)
👏
I would love it if there were more illustrations of the story and some sound mixing at the background. This would be the cherry topping to your charming story telling 😊
Ha! Yes, I'll get onto it now! (Kidding!)
Thank you so much for these. These really helped while going through chemotherapy treatments
Ahhh, that was really good! Excellent reading as well!
Cheers Seer!
The game is afoot!

Thanks for wonderful narration. Plse do upload more stories👍👍👍

Although I still don’t know what a “grange” is, despite hearing that word in British literature and British films all my life. They never say what it is. The definitions available online are multiple. Is it a farm?
A country house with farm buildings attached according to OED.
One of the more obvious ones but a pleasant listen. TY Greg!
Thank YOU Teda R
Such a satisfying story. Justice!
This was my favorite yet!
Oh, I did enjoy that one! 😊 Thanks again, GW.
Glad you liked. Cheers!
Love your work. Thank you.
Thanks for listening!
The Abbey Grange is quite a great case, but with such an unexpected ending. I was quite struck by the make-believe trial with Holmes as Judge and Watson as Jury.
Forgotten that. Yes!
He often breaks into other people's property in his "pursuit of justice" .
The past is another country... maybe.
Holmes does the right thing again :} - another time when innocent people would have been dragged through the courts and have their lives ruined . . .
My favourite Shirley & John’s caper.
It's so long since I recorded it, I remember little about it. I know it was one of Conan Doyle's faves however. There's a playlist of his top tales.
scottish accent potrays him perfectly.
I'm completely addicted ❤
Therapy is available.
Intellectually storytelling funniest slovening techniques, good mistress slovening , goodies and not so goodies ,great misstree to solve all in all.

The only stories my baby will sleep to
To nail an Australian accent and NOT make an Aussie cringe is something even academy award winners haven't been able to do.
Perhaps it's my love of Dame Edna Everage, Andrew?

Yes, I agree.

I have just listened to Craig Stephen Copland...the inequality of mercy...which is based on this story. I really enjoy listening to both authors ❤ 😁

Had to Google *beeswing* in old port wine ... a filmy crust on old wines long bottled & the film looks like silvery bees wings so it said
What is beeswing?
Good question!
I believe I've fallen in love with Mary.
The lady brought up in south Australia has no Australian accent.
This is late 19th century: much of the population were very recent immigrants!

It was quite clear from the very beginning who was behind the murder. No mystery here. Boring and predictable.
