30 Black Peter from The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1905) Audiobook

[@itsjustmekinsey]

Greg Wagland is the definitive for audio for Doyle's works just as Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke are Holmes & Watson on screen.

[@DavidSmith-ee6df]

The narrator is one of the best I have ever heard for a series like this. I especially enjoy his remarkable accents. It’s an older style of writing, somewhat difficult to project with such ethereal expression. Very thoughtful and kindly of the publisher to gift this to us.

[@granny13ad33]

I very much enjoyed Black Peter. It was read splendidly. In fact everything you read is awesome. You seriously are the best I've heard. As much as I like Rathbone and Bruce, i think I prefer hearing the ones you read. They are better than the ones acted out. Every time I listen the stories come alive. Thank you.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Thanks Granny. Black Peter I remember was particularly good to read, because it's a great story. One of his best, although he didn't rate it himself. Not sure why!

[@lindaharwood6295]

I agree, I love hearing them read using proper English as it was in the time it was written. I wonder if these were ever read over the radio , before television and modern technology?

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for giving us these stories to listen to. We so much need absorbing stories as a distraction at present.

[@michaelscott9475]

I’ve started this story so many times and fallen asleep before the end. Love all of Greg’s readings. I always smile at the idea of Sherlock having all these places across London where he becomes another character. Unfortunately he makes the mistake of telling all the ruffians he lives at 221b Baker Street so they can call round and annoy Dr Watson!

[@kurstinclarke8962]

Jessica Milestone that's true but the 2 1st century feels so ugly. It is very empty of substance and information overload. It is the most conservative and inane period in history since the middle ages. Mass production and the internet have replaced aesthetics creating the ugliest century yet.

[@patriciajrs46]

Quite the case. I was surprised that Holmes didn't tell Hopkins, at the arrest of Nellinger, that the frail young youth was innocent of murder. It was very interesting how Holmes suspected, and deduced that the tobacco pouch belonged to other than Carey. Quite astute indeed.

[@kevinjudy5739]

One of my favorite of the stories...I don't know why...

[@Hawkmoon1981]

Am I the only one who was waiting for Holmes to let the two other harpooners out of the other room where he asked them to wait for a little while? They must have been awfully confused about what was going on and why it was taking so long for them to be dismissed. All through the denouement I was imagining them awkwardly standing around, hearing all the commotion and wondering when someone would come and tell them they could leave...

[@michaelkluko3660]

I LOVE how certain scenes from Doyle’s writing ends up in the SHERLOCK series. ( shows they cared about the original stories) . When Ben Cumberbatch walks in baker street w harpoon ,,covered in blood ….. great scene .

[@mcgama88]

The author himself, should he hear this craft of reading a manuscript as to Sherlock and Watson, might comment...."an effort so placed as to bring alive the texture and time as to capture Baker street and the London which saw the accounts of " a million people bumping and moving with their lives so mixed and traced to uncommon tales of adventure and strife". That is to say, a voice which conveys a sense of place with such remarkable ability as to bring about life leaping from the page, the characters full and bold as the story unfolds. The events as near past meet a modern audience. And I, among that grateful audience, quite thank the reader for such a satisfying revisit to Baker Street and the tale that begins from that residence.

Quite a good plot

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Only spirit i can drink is rum. I choose it over whisky, brandy and vodka any day.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Yes, I know very little about rum. I find the 'white spirit' paint stripper type rum (often mixed with cola) has put me off it. What brands do you like?

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Sherlock Holmes Stories Magpie Audio I very much like Captain Morgan. I know many people would say that's not real rum because they add subtle spices but I don't care. The normal is good but because I have sweet tooth and I adore taste of vanilla which is why Morgan's Black spiced is my favorite. I have also found liking in Negrita rum. Its dry and mellow. I very much dislike white rum not because of the taste but rather lack of it. I rarely drink but when I do I usually enjoy a pipe of sweet tobacco with it. Not too often of course. Otherwise it would be like having Christmas every week. And what's the fun in that?
