When I go get in bed I pick a story I haven’t heard I close my eyes and visualize vividly the words I hear and enjoy the mental picture formulated. I recommend this to everyone it keeps my mind sharp

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

I should try it!

[@jacquelinebell6201]

I love to do that too. Usually fall asleep quickly, because of the soothing voice not because its boring lol. I'd recommend listening to audios for relaxing before sleep.

Thanks Maylay All Day. Kind of you!

I like the way you read, without trying to be overly dramatic or mysterious, you don't try to 'do the audiences job for them'.

[@star_blazer]

Greg, you have an incredibly beautiful and elegant voice. I prefer your reading of these stories above others. Thank you for offering these wonderful stories.

I love how you can just listen to this, instead of finding the books for a start. Then read it to yourself without going to dreamland... I mean listening to this is FREE! Who would dislike this channel?! Everyone who finds this should think, “Wow, I Really Have Struck Gold Here.”

I suspect it's got something to do with gold, Max ;-)

GREAT - all these stories are not readily available - really enjoy them and having the stories on audio is great so that they can be heard anytime - the reader is excellent - thank you for all of these gifts - also love all the older authors - most people would not have access to these books otherwise

I am 50 and when I was 6 I was given the Complete Sherlock Holmes that Chrstmas and had finished reading it from cover to cover and watching the old black and white Sherlock Holmes on the BBC. By the following Christmas I had read the whole book. This reading is so well done it is like a trip down memory lane lane. Thanks

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

My pleasure!

[@cruisepaige]

I love audiobooks but I am super picky about the voices. You, sir have done an AMAZING job! I am a huge SH fan and it’s like the stories are all new for me to enjoy over again!

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Thanks for your kind comments, cruisepaige! All the best.

[@suecollins3246]

Yes - but it's quite true! I care _immensely_ about voices and yours is lovely.

[@electrojones]

I cannot reasonably hope to impart to you the joyous effect these audio presentations have had upon a humble production designer. Without you, sir, my time spent hunched as the bell ringer of Hugo over my keyboard would have driven me into a state of depressive madness. Kudos to you!

Greg wagland is a great reader for this sort of story. I think he should have a go at ‘The 39 Steps’ as well.

What you are doing is legendary. If u read a story in one video, can u do like an explanation in the following video of the same story?? That would be helpful and a lot of my friends want that too. We would all appreciate it. This I believe will help your channel out too.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Hi Nawaz, Glad you are enjoying the channel. Perhaps you can explain a little more what you mean when you say an explanation. Look forward to hearing from you. G

you doing a report for school i am sure.

[@nazeefchowdhury5115]

I meant that after reading the story, if we get a summary of the story, it would be very helpful for a lot of schools where these stories are read. If u cannot do it, it is absolutely fine. I will still be subscribed and surely will continue to support this channel. Thank you Magpie audio. 😁

Can somebody explain to me what this David story about the Bible is ?

[@jamiecartright]

It’s where King David assaulted Bathsheba and had her husband Uriah (one of his best soldiers) killed in battle. The story is told in the 11th and 12th chapters of Second Samuel. You can Google them; since the whole story won’t fit in the comment box.

Lovely narration again, and a merciful lack, for the most part, of ACD's casual racisim, chauvanism and gender bias that mar many of these otherwise excellent stories for the modern ear. They, like we, are a product of their times, so allowances must be made.

[@fredvaughan1017]

Yeah true enough, though Victorian England has to be forgiven some of the faults which it had, considering that the time allowed child labour and enormous cruelty in general- I have to say, I was impressed by the conclusion of the yellow face- a way ahead of its time imo, really pleasant, I was worried near the end that it would've been different- I think that ACD sometimes expressed rather elegant and correct ideas, in a way that a deeply bigoted county could understand.

[@mavisemberson8737]

Going too far! Self righteous judgementalism may be what this period in history is noted for in later times. Allowances indeed!. Our universities have degenerated , though, and this sort of thing is demanded of graduates and employees so we must forgive the foolishness.
