Greg Wagland, you are a legend! I've listened to all your Sherlock Homes readings countless times. I just wish there were more. Your tone and intonation are calming and enthralling at the same time. Thank you sir, you are a fine fellow!
Speaking of artists, your ability to paint the perfect Victorian/Edwardian portraits and landscapes, is second to none! It is your intonation and your great accents. You rise and fall, as the narrative dictates, and never become dull or boring. Although admittedly, I have fallen off to sleep while listening to one or two of your many great stories. Lol! But I've also spent far too many nights glued to every word But who can sleep with all this nonsense going on in the world? Peace!
never knew of all these short stories of Sir Arthur’s. they’re so much fun and scary, suspenseful. thanks so much for narrating them in your inimitable way. :) 😋🙀🦄
Nor did I and they're great. There's a never ending heap of these by Edwardian writers, all competing with each other. I like the Benson stories, not just E. F. (is it E. F.), and want to have a go at some of the Kipling, and maybe more M. R. James.
Sherlock Holmes Stories Magpie Audio oh, do. i know M.R. James, but look forward to your interpretation. listening to different readers is the same as experiencing different actors and actresses do the same part. i have no idea why i thought about this, but i’d love to hear someone read “the Rime of the Ancient Mariner”. it has some beautiful descriptions. “it raised my hair and fanned my cheeks like a meadow-gale of spring. it mingled strangely with my fears, yet it felt like a welcoming.” :) 🌷
This is one I have never heard of! So excited to listen on this rainy Saturday morning 😊Thank you Mr. Wagland! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Great story! As any one who likes Conan Doyle will know, he was very keen on the Occult. This jars with Sherlock Holmes, who wasn’t. It was Conan Doyles interest, and takes us forward to Dennis Wheatley, who wrote “ The Devil Rides Out”. That story, is probably as close as we might get to an experience which deals with things beyond our world. We don’t know, but it is an example of what may be outside, and very real, if we wish to look for it, at our peril!
I need to research Doyle's involvement with Spiritualism. It's seems incongruous that the man of science and deduction would be involved in such fantastical stuff.

@@jackiewhite4204 That's good to know. Was truly bothering me here while listening to this story (knowing only the former and not that he eventually eschewed it)
Yes, Playing With Fire... One must be extremely careful of what "Doors"one opens...I hope that the only Door that I open is the one that JESUS knocks on...
i love the pictures you choose - they are all ‘art’ and fit the story. do you know what print this was part of? i’d really like to see it if you do know. thanks much :) 🌼
@@gerry5134 My guess: There are two good channels for British audio performances. Arch Stanton and ArchB Stanton. I suspect that, since those channels put out lots of good content...and people often say something like "Thanks Arch" there... They figure "this is good Brit audio. Must be Arch's channel." Which would, of course, be fallacious.
Came across the collected writings in old Carnage foundation county library here in US years ago. Never saw it anywhere else or since. Terrible thing, digital books. Lost are the pages turned, tactile interaction, and the meandering through libraries seeking the new, the odd, the book that hasn't been opened a decade or more for lack of curiosity or open minds. Found, through memory of hand held tomes, that digital copy is not always as once written. Simple and subtle alteration of word from tome to digital copy; less simple the alteration of intent and communicated sense of purpose, morality, or lessons for life. A heinous act against the writer and cruelty to the unaware reader, unfamiliar with the original source. Today, the question of reading has changed from secondhand experience through texts, to what loss in minor changes of language has been perpetrated on this generation... ✌️& Favour ALL (Pennsylvania USA, teacher takes pride and feels gratification by getting The Illiad and The Odyssey removed from public school libraries.)

Sir Greg Wagland you are so talented!! I am certain that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be proud of your beautiful work. Thank you so very much
Thank you, Greg. Splendid as always. Capital. Keep up the good work.
I love his voice. I think i have listened to all his Sherlock audiobooks

Great story!

‘What a fun - nobody eez ‘urt - only ze door eez broken.......’
Subtle, moi?
Thank you very much!
Wonderful! Thank you
So interesting a story given Doyle’s fanaticism about using a medium and the supernatural.
Have never even heard of thus story let alone read it. Very much looking forward to “seeing” it, along with the others.
Did you enjoy it, Bodegabreath.
Great name by the way.
THANK YOU MISTER
YOU HAVE SIR ACD PERFECT 💎
Thank you.
Love it!
I wonder if Conan Doyle had such an experience? Lovely reading, as usual, of an interesting story.
Ta very much.
Thanks
No matter the delusional belief, there are devotees who will support it regardless of fact.

Later in life he eschewed all that stuff and exposed Houdini as a fraud.

Very fine reading
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I never knew that this story existed...
Fantastic channel it's a real eye opener for me too. I'm feasting on the tales. I've just enjoyed the ''The Stripped Box'', again !
i love the pictures you choose - they are all ‘art’ and fit the story. do you know what print this was part of? i’d really like to see it if you do know. thanks much :) 🌼
It would be, if looking from the front!
Many thanks Arch. Where do you find these files?
Who's Arch ?

HOPE YOUR WELL..❤
Yes thank you. Can’t complain!
wow
If that is supposed to be the unicorn, the horn is not in the middle between the ears.

ALL THE BEST TO POKE U IN THE EYE. WITH IF U DON'T HAVE SAFTEY GOGGLES 😊
GREAT READING...Was it real or a hoax?...As another listener mentioned a topic that was VERY important to SACD-Can the veil be pierced?...
Maybe
U OK MISTER????
