[@feralbluee]

i haven’t listened to your stories for a long time and i find i missed your voice. this was wonderful to listen to as your readings are quite brilliant. thank you so much :) 🌷🌱 have a wonderful summer 🌼🌱

[@zachhogan7865]

I'm a huge fan of anything sherlock holmes and always have been. dont pay attention to the hate and malcontent you get from these amazing videos. keep it up!!

[@kimmccabe1422]

Said very well. My feelings exactly!

[@rutimizrachi]

I admire the effort. One take? Remarkably good, considering that! I can't imagine doing such a good reading in one take. A pleasure. Keep 'em coming... and I agree with the person who said if you write your own, I'd be happy to hear it.

[@Bambisgf77]

Thank you for these further adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

[@gast4215]

Thank you so much for your works here: I enjoy them so much! I also love the painting - thanks to Joy Hancock for giving details! Cheers from Germany

[@joyhancock2703]

I am in Germany too. John Atkinson Grimshaw is known for his paintings of urban scenes at night and lots of them seen to be misty and wet but very realistic.

[@joyhancock2703]

Just to confirm the information, I have double checked and it is called "Liverpool from Wapping" by John Atkinson Grimshaw. The Liverpool is Liverpool docks in London. Cheers from Germany to you too.

I was quite upset by Jeremy Bretts early death the only other actor to come close, in my opinion was Peter Cushing . Anyway highly enjoyable tale, exceptional story telling though I was confused as to the where Cylon was to start then figured it was Ceylon. I had a look at the game with your amusing narrative I can never get the hang of them. The chap on the writing table was General Gordon of Khartom whose head was chopped off and stuck on a spear which we British seem very proud of. Carry on the jolly good work.

[@sarahcolombo1547]

Thank YOU!!!!!!! These tales warm my evenings....

[@pikewerfer]

I will do more, never fear :-)

[@sarahcolombo1547]

I love Basil Rathbone's masculin e delivery of the silver screen Sherlock.

Excellent, I hope for more

[@mwatts-riley2688]

Although not original ACD and written in the same vein, ✍ it surely carries the same enjoyment and thus the same quality as the original; 📖 Just as intriguing. M. Illinois.

[@ElicBehexan]

Lovely job of reading. Since it has been nearly a decade since posting this, I presume there has been no issue.

[@stewartlancaster6155]

you mean has he had children ?

[@ElicBehexan]

@@stewartlancaster6155 I mean that Eric Brown, or children, have not learned of this story. As a writer, not nearly clever enough to think up a Sherlock Holmes story, and knowing other writers, some professionals, I understand about protecting copy rights. However, pikewerfer does send the reader to the writer's website, I have to believe they know about it.

[@shaelynp7630]

I love these !! The narration is great! On the nose !! More more !!

[@pikewerfer]

Thank you so much. Yes, I am currently working on a new one. :-)

[@fiftysomething7199]

I enjoyed the read. Thank you.

[@roringusanda2837]

🐙💕I could look at that picture for hours...

[@Tayet4Buri]

Thanks for doing this! Will you one day write your own Sherlock story and read it to us? I would certainly listen...

Foggy conditions in the city

[@tonihazle2034]

I am really enjoying it!

[@alexapenn6399]

i just love your voice and your readings -and sooo different :}

[@matero30]

We all love your presentation. Please record and upload as many Holmes stories as you can. "The Speckled Band" would be fantastic...

[@mightyquinn3451]

What are your thoughts on the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, as well as the tv series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

[@pikewerfer]

Concerning those movies..... I guess the best way to describe it is: this is not my Sherlock Holmes. I daresay Jeremy Brett and the wonderful TV series from Granada Television were a lot closer to what I envision our favorite sleuth would act and behave like (I also liked the BBC audio play very much, by the way). Turning him into an action hero was.... understandable from a monetary point of view, but I daresay Doyle was rotating in his grave. I watched them, and had no choice but to rename the characters in my mind in order to sit through it. The Sherlock-Series I like a lot better, because it is clearly obvious that this is a restart in an alternate modern reality. It therefore does not touch/maltreat or "threat" my emotional attachment to the rational, bohemian Victorian gentleman I treasure in my imagination. This Sherlock, though very similar to him in many ways, is clearly a different person. I therefore was able to sit back, relax and smile at the similarities of characters and cases. Have I answered your question?

[@mightyquinn3451]

yes. yes have. and one of the few to be clear with your answer. thank you.

[@suecollins3246]

Hate it! Hate it hate it HATE it!

[@suecollins3246]

The movie, I mean.

[@alexapenn6399]

a new story for me - thanks so much and i enjoy your renditions :}

[@legorasgoleshi4890]

OH HELL YEAH!!!!! FINALLY A NEW ONE!! :D

[@pikewerfer]

Yes, sorry for it taking so long.... I was experimenting with different recording softwares, but I daresay I found a good one now. I really like the audio quality in this recording. I will do some more original ones, but I also like many of the "unofficial" stories :-)

[@legorasgoleshi4890]

pikewerfer SWEET!!! ^^ Without exaggerating, you have the most fitting voice for telling the Sherlock Holmes stories ^^ Thank you so much for doing this! ^^ You've made my vacation so much better with the first two books you've made! ^^ I can't wait for new ones! :D And again, thank you so much for this! ^^ You're awesome! ^^

Atkinson Grimshaw painting on the thumbnail......

[@flyinspirals]

Do you have an attribution for the painting? Thanks -- enjoying the 'further' stories.

[@pikewerfer]

+flyinspirals It is the cover of the book I read them from :-) And I like it very much, it has a very distinct Victorian ring to it. :-)

[@joyhancock2703]

+flyinspirals If you look in Wikipedia for John Atkinson Grimshaw then click on "A collection of Grimshaw paintings" under Links, I think you will agree this is the main part of the picture by him known as "Liverpool from Wapping". Here is a link www.illusionsgallery.com/liverpool.html

[@sjr7822]

Thanks for the link, enjoyed the paintings, I can feel the dampness in my bones the mist on my face. What a talent. Remarkable

[@alexapenn6399]

Thanks so much - another little known artist discovered - i love the Pre-Raphaelites. Do you know about Gustave Corbet? :}

[@alexapenn6399]

[@glutinousmaximus]

I like the picture - it looks very Dickensian. :0)

[@kathleensmith644]

An interesting story but it isn’t actually one written by Arthur Conan Doyle. I have looked carefully for it and it does not appear in any of the collections of Sherlock Holmes stories.

[@pikewerfer]

No, it isn't. As is stated clearly in the description beneath the video. The one saying: "This is NOT an original SH story by Sir A.C. Doyle, but one written by the excellent Mr. Eric Brown. You can find his website here: ericbrown.co.uk/ I tried to contact the publishers of the book in which this remarkable story is to be found - "The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures" by Carroll&Graf Publishers, Inc. 1997 - but they are no longer in existence. However, I was able to get permission from the successor - The Perseus Books Group. Thank you very much indeed!! You can find them here: www.perseusbooksgroup.com/ And you can still find the book on Amazon (I just checked - it was edited by Mike Ashley)."

[@paulcannon5065]

Is that "Arthur Atkinson" 🤔

[@joieozypunb7780]

Doyle DID NOT WRITE SHERLOCK, I've read his other works! The disparity is enormous - galaxy apart...😣😣

[@mwatts-riley2688]

It is given the name Doyle out of copywrite agreement. And ghost writing disparity. Relax. The earth will still spin. More to get upset about than ignorance of literature law. M

A good story despite the strange and sometimes irritating pronunciation.

[@mwatts-riley2688]

When you speed up the rate its a better sound. The pronunciations, not of America, are a blend of British and Scots? I find it enjoyable. M. Il. 🇺🇸

[@da1681]

This is not Sherlock Holmes. Not in any way. Nope.

[@pikewerfer]

Did you read the video description?

[@da1681]

@@pikewerfer oh yes. What I meant is this is not the character of Holmes. I did not say that this is not Conan Doyle. That it obviously is not. But the character drawn in this story is not, emphatically not, the character of Sherlock Holmes.

[@pikewerfer]

@@da1681 Why do you think that? I am genuinely interested.

[@da1681]

@@pikewerfer oh where do I begin? Holmes discussing climatology, meteorology? The man who says that he doesn't care for the Copernican theory. 'If the Earth went around the Sun, it wouldn't make a pennyworth of difference to me and my work' Holmes describing tropical scenery, sunset??? Holmes talking about dinner? Holmes attending social dinners with an unsolved case in hand? It's a minor point but no examination of the scene of crime with his famous magnifying glass? Holmes describing the behavior of that ungracious lady? Holmes can get any information he wants from anyone. No one can ignore his masterful personality. Oh I could go on. It is not Holmes in any way you look at it. Doesn't have the feel if nothing else. Sorry but I read and listen to Holmes stories a zillion times from any good source that I get. Have to be happy with the limited edition Conan Doyle originals it seems.

[@da1681]

Please read 'if the Sun went around the Earth..... '

[@epcstrathclyde]

In future if you read the names of foreign countries and cities from books, it might help if you learned how to pronounce them. You managed to pronounce every one so badly that I had trouble figuring out where you meant. Other than that, it is nicely done.

[@lilbits4173]

Sounds like someone who tries hard to speak with British accent. Not as good as others audio. Sorry.

[@claytonwalter8700]

drop the rasp in your voice; it's distracting.

[@pauc9596]

Overly affected reading with implausible accents. Insufficient preparation as far too many mispronunciations of names and other words which have been read out as they would by a child and not as spoken. The story, though entertaining was not up to the standard of Conan Doyle.

[@Tayet4Buri]

Thanks for doing this! Will you one day write your own Sherlock story and read it to us? I would certainly listen...
