These videos are the only reason I’m passing my university literature class while working full time

I listen to one story every day. I have repeated yours readings several times. This is how Sherlock speaks when I read his stories in hard bound books. Thank you.

Holmes is an enjoyable creation, but this is one of Conan-Doyle's most absurd premises. No snake can be trained with milk to come on a whistle. Milk is nothing like food for a snake, and they can't hear through the air. They are sophisticated for brain size but cannot be trained up like some mammals. Nor would they lie in anything like a band around a head. They aren't even likely to strike without cause. Amazing how fearful yet ignorant people are of these fascinating creatures. PS: cheetahs and baboons are African, not Indian.

Thank you so much for this. I can’t read properly because I have dyslexia and this is very helpful.

I had to study for a test on this story but had limited time to do so. Listening to this gave more time to do things and prepare while studying simultaneously. Thank you so much!

Oh man. This one. I got the audio cassette, yes cassette, of this from the library when I was a kid. Ever since then, I think of this very story every time I hear the name of “Sherlock Holmes”.

Holmes cheerfully talking about crocuses while mr crankypants bends fire pokers is both damn funny and a flex of considerable proportions

May he be shamed who finds the nerve to dislike this marvellous work.

This story was my first experience with Sherlock. It completly fascinated me, and here I am now, an Aurthur Conan Doyle addict. Thanks Greg

This one frightened me as a child. We had a trapdoor in the ceiling at the top of the stairs, and

I have an English assignment to do with this and when I read I get distracted so listening to this while reading helped me. Thankyou

I have ADD and I have trouble reading for a long time because of this, so this is very helpful to me.💜

I am nearly 50 years old and still cracks me up when the Sherlock Holmes stories talk about "huge ejaculations." Funniest one so far - where Watson was asleep in a chair by the fire - and Sherlock Holmes' violent ejaculation woke him up with a start. Fnarr fnarr...

When Holmes mentioned how bad it can be when a physician goes wrong, all I could think of was Crippen; however, Crippen wasn't fictional unfortunately. Thank you for the brilliant job on these! A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
