About the author: Ernest Bramah (1868-1942) was born Ernest Bramah Smith, probably in or near Manchester, where he attended grammar school. An intensely private man, very little information is known about his personal life. His early career included a stint as assistant to Jerome K. Jerome; his first success as a writer came as a contributor of humorous sketches somewhat in the manner of Jerome, to newspapers and periodicals, and he later became editor of one of Jerome's magazines. As an author he is best remembered for creating two characters: Kai Lung, a Chinese storyteller who appeared in a number of humorous stories from 1900; and Max Carrados, the blind detective, created in 1913. He also wrote science fiction, and his 1907 novel 'What Might Have Been' (also known as 'The Secret of the League') is a dystopian story which was acknowledged by George Orwell as a major influence on his own 'Nineteen Eighty-four'. Orwell was also a great admirer of the Max Carrados stories, bracketing them with Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Freeman's Dr Thorndyke as "the only detective stories since Poe that are worth re-reading". The character of Carrados appeared in more than 25 short stories and novels between 1913 and 1934, and by the 1920s was more popular than Sherlock Holmes (whose later cases appeared alongside Carrados in The Strand Magazine). His blindness proves no obstacle to his detective skills; indeed his other senses are heightened and he regularly outwits criminals and fellow detectives alike.
Ernest Bramah Smith died in June 1942, aged 74, in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. He was survived by his wife Lucy Smith.
'The Last Exploit of Harry the Actor' first appeared under the title 'The Great Safe Deposit Coup' in The News of the World, on 5th October 1913. It was reprinted the following year - under the new title - as part of the first collection of Carrados stories to appear in book form, simply entitled 'Max Carrados (Methuen & Co., Ltd., 1914).

I find myself agreeing! Does this mean I am getting old I wonder?! But actually I have always felt this way even though I do like movies with ghosts I just don’t get it how Hollywood, (just off the coast of planet Earth 🌍😉🙃) has come to the conclusion that as soon as someone dies or leave’s the restriction of the human body, they suddenly become evil and dangerous! I find a ghost story with a more original plot so much more interesting! Sorry I have gone off topic slightly but it’s one of the reasons why I prefer older ghost stories and who doesn’t love a mystery and this author’s style of writing really appeals to me and I could listen forever! Blessings 🙏

Yay! I have to listen when I'm not too tired, because your relaxing voice sometimes causes me to drift off. It's funny, a couple of times I have started dreaming with my earbuds still in my ears. I am walking around and doing things in my dreams, and I'm wondering where this voice is coming from. Oh, it's the TV. I turn the TV off, but I still hear the voice. It must be the radio, I find a radio and turn it off. Still hear the voice. Then I realize I'm wearing a headset. I take the headset off, still hear the voice!!! I pull earbuds out of my ears, still hear the voice!!! And the strangest thing is, it is clearly Simon's voice, but his words are non-sensical gibberish, like he's speaking another language. This has happened several times. I always have a laugh at myself when I wake up!!!! Anyhow, thank you for another story!!!!

Thanks! I adore Max C stories! It’s hope it’s not in-politically correct (a lot of things are at the moment when other things that should be… suddenly it’s ok to be prejudice against people that undergo surgeries to change sex, I don’t mean the whole gender fluid thing and I am not against it but it does undo all the work that people who have undergone hrt and surgeries and had the puberty of the desired/essential gender) but I call him the blind Sherlock! The blind often develop clairvoyance more easily than the rest of us and they often see with the 3rd eye quite sufficiently with the bonus of seeing other dimensions and for any skeptics our thoughts are in a different dimension which is why they aren’t visible to all of us! I believe thought forms are easily detected by Clairvoyants! Sorry… sorry boring you no doubt but I am fascinated as apparently these are all innate abilities lying dormant within most of us but with some formal meditation and a clear intention…. I know Simon, enough… you must think me totally insane sometimes! 😂Thank you earth Angel 😇 for your endless patience! ♥️✨👑✨♥️

Simon I have had some trouble with an old malady that resurfaces without warning usually at the most inopportune moments in life and I think you may have noticed that lately I haven’t been myself and I read all my recent comments and I can confirm that it is definitely the result of getting used to this bloody pain medication which makes me drowsy and impairs my judgment slightly and takes away my filter so I type every word that comes into my head! With zero censorship or barely any inhibition’s!! ☺️ I am coming off this strong medication again and now I am more myself! Forgive me please 🙏

How could Max watch anything? He's blind and can't see. Why is Max wanting to commit a robbery? Kind of weird, I think.

Hey, Simon. How do I listen to Diary of a Nobody. I think I'm a member!

Hi Marisa, yes indeed, you're a member via PayPal, so I've been trying to work out a way of getting the extra content to you. Members on KZbin, Patreon, Bandcamp etc can all access the content via those platforms, but there's no similar mechanism with PayPal, so I'm in the processing of setting something up... via gift codes on Bandcamp is probably the best way I think. Keep an eye on your email (the email address you signed up with on PayPal) and I'll send you some links later today all being well

Are all of your readings excerpts? If so, where can we find the full books?
@BitesizedAudio
@BitesizedAudio 10 ай бұрын
Hello Patricia, no they're not excerpts, they're all single stories complete in themselves. Sometimes they're one of a series of stories, I will reference that in the video description if so, but either way they all stand alone and can be listened to in any order. I hope that helps!
