"no sister of his should be in such a situation"
"...I shall throw you to the mastiff!"
I still get chills picturing that scene. My imagination is quite vivid and that scene frightened me when I first read it.
Watch the Jeremy Brett version. It’s very faithful to the book and the actors do an amazing job.
Funny & realistic that Holmes criticizes, in turn, the following: his cases’ biographer, stories, presentation, format, selection, drama, we readers ourselves, & even the “unimaginative, lackluster” criminals found therein! Great inside joke by AC Doyle.

Probably my favorite Sherlock Holmes villain. A monster in the guise of a jolly, plump and boyish man.
I am learning English from this perfect audio.I love the voice, intonation, the mastery of the reader.And I really appreciate that there are subtitles here.
Great fun! Thank you so much for sharing these. I have given up on television and these fill the void. The language is wonderful.
This, though an interesting story/read, will be boring to watch on television.. I can guarantee you that I enjoy listening to Hercule Poirot audiobooks than watching the boring movies
Agree with you on television
Thanks for these superb readings, you ARE the faithful Watson.
Ha! Thanks Alex.
As testimony to how masterly, how outstanding, how completely and utterly convincing your reading is, I freely confess that the first time I heard you say at 1:00 with authority that Holmes was busy "taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting it with the long cherry-wood pipe," I actually went to the text itself, asking myself as I looked for the sentence, "Can Sir Arthur really have written that Holmes lit the cinder with his pipe, rather than lit his pipe with the cinder, and all these years I never noticed it?" :-)
I also thought that that part was a reading error..Thank you for clearing that up 🤗
I must say, The Copper Beeches almost gave me a Lovecraft vibe when I read it. Rather spooky.
I must revisit it. Lovecraft, eh?
Thank you for this incredible gift of excellently read literature❤
Tremendous Sherlock Holmes short story. On the very top shelf.
Top shelf has a very different meaning in British English , friend 😂 It actually refers to pornographic magazines that shops keep on the top shelf ! I agree with you through , they’re lovey short stories ! Which one’s your favourite ?
Mrs. Hunter is so underrated in comparison to Irene Adler
Yes. She gets my vote.
I completely agree! While I do love Irene Adler I also think that Violet Hunter is incredibly intelligent and observant, as we can clearly see in the story
This is a classic Gothic story!❤
*capital! Capital! "😁😁 love this story - thanks for another great read!
Can't quite believe Holmes would be mixed up with this situation or that the situation could exist - but then Mr Greg can make it all an enjoyable experience.
This story isn't much in terms of mystery but it's nice to see Doyle putting more agency into his female characters
More agency for his female characters - the crowd chanted. When do we want it? Now! (1890s)
This and The Speckled Band have been my favorite for that reason. And you can really see how much ACD cared about women not being exploited.
Who was looking after the kid when the housekeeper was locked in the cellar and her husband was drunk. The parents went off and left him behind. I am not worried on account of him being a little sh*t! 😂
This is one of my favorite SHMysteries! 😁
The fiance is a great man. His kind is a dying breed.
The advanture of the empty house. Was one of the heart tuching story. The final problem was so heart tuching than empty house.
Wonderful reading, thank you! ❤
Thank you!
Poor dog. If they didn't starve him he would have been a good boy.
Between this and The Hound of the Baskervilles, I take it ACD was no fan of dogs!
@@riggs20 I was thinking the same thing.
"I confess that it is not the situation which I should like to see a sister of mine apply for," says Holmes - which has led to furious speculation over whether Holmes had a sister, or even two or more. Watson never specifically says that he doesn't, nor does Holmes. All we really know is that he has a brother Mycroft, and that their forebears were country squires, with a family connection to the French painter Claude-Joseph Vernet.
Very interesting. Thank you.
It might be no different than a childless person saying "I wouldn't want a child of mine in X situation." But it's an interesting debate.
He took a brotherly protective concern for Mary Sutherland, too, in A Case of Identity.
the story is so amazing
Behind Irene Adler I believe Violet Hunter to be the best female character ACD wrote. Well characterised with her own agency, she's also one of the only victims Holmes ever seemed impressed with which is quite something. A top shelf character from a top drawer short story, the Copper Beeches is up there as one of the best, to my mind
Yes. I’d forgotten about Violet Hunter. Yes, The Copper Beeches is perhaps underrated.
Yeeesssss. The Jeremy Brett series' version of this story is one of my faves. Brett understood why Sherlock cared so much about Violet as a character-- she stood her ground, even moreso than Mary Morestan. I like Mary, but Violet always felt more realized.
Agreed. I too felt Watson's sadness that he had no further interest in her the first time I read the story.
‘Side alley of human experience’ gosh I love this! 😂
Yes, great phrase.
Aye mate, that title... it means as much as, the beaches of the coppers, I presume? I didn't know that the cops had beaches of their own! Happily I just remembered, there's beaches for all of us, not just cops.
That has defo become a favourite well enjoyed thank u 😀
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Shirley Pearl.
The last line makes it sound like Watson was shipping Holmes with Miss Hunter
Who knows?
Scrumptious! Thank you for the upload!
Very nice indeed. I listen to your recordings time and time again. Thank you for posting!
I love these
Thanks Gary
Excellent reading
What a tale!
I had a book with Sidney Paget? Padgett? Didnt he do the art for the strand? Memories fading. Thank you for these my friend
He's the original illustrator I believe.
Interesting site here: www.bestofsherlock.com/sidney-paget-original-art.htm
Paget. He was the original illustrator, but only by accident. The proposal was to go to his brother. Both first names escape me at present.
Greg, would you be able to do "The Field Bazaar"? The narrations that are available of it are shocking.
I've just read it. Didn't realise how short it was.
Short is ok with me
Quite a few parallels in the dialogue and themes of this story and Hound. The comment in the train about "country life and isolated crime" and "dont go out of the house at night" (or "on the moor"). A well trained mastiff, insects for smashing or bug collecting, a trip from an urban center to an isolated countryside. Common elements?
"Sweating! Rank sweating!"
Yes!
Did the DVD d7dd die from6 du dxxxxdxdd
Greg and at least 13 other people seem to understand what you mean.
"My dear young lady"...
this is the one I figured out 😃
Not too difficult!
Holmes the jackanape, holmes the meddler.
Thanks
I see what's happening. Suspicious!
Has anyone noticed that this is basically a minimalist retelling of The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins?
good point, even the villain has notes of Count Fosco!
Crazy story🥇👑👑👑👑👑👑🥇
The adverts are ruining this!
Thanks Charlie. Now disabled.
Good, good, Dude.
I love your Sherlock Holmes stories but have you ever considered reading the Grimm fairy tales?
Did a couple of 'odd' videos a few years back. Might have another go at some point.
Sherlock Holmes Stories Magpie Audio please record ANYTHING! I have listened to every Holmes story at least 3 times or more ...
Have you ever tried coloring books? Not the little kid kinds but there are lovely ones out there these days- nature, animals, seasonal - that are very calming to do, having fun selecting pretty colors and there's no right or wrong! I give them to friends and family for 'fridge-art@
great

Please, please, please-will you read “The Sussex Vampyre?” It’s my very favorite!!!
Isn't that one of the stories that is borderline in copyright? Best avoided until definitively public domain. Soz.
It's done!!!
He is always reading the advertisement does he want a job

The word shone is pronounced with a long o. It rhymes with bone, cone, hone, phone, moan and alone, as well as groan and grown, lone and loan, prone, stone, tone and zone. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It is NOT pronounced "shawn."
Otherwise well done
WRONG
