    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!

      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.

      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.”

    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.

      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...
