I am learning English from this perfect audio.I love the voice, intonation, the mastery of the reader.And I really appreciate that there are subtitles here.

Funny & realistic that Holmes criticizes, in turn, the following: his cases’ biographer, stories, presentation, format, selection, drama, we readers ourselves, & even the “unimaginative, lackluster” criminals found therein! Great inside joke by AC Doyle.

"...I shall throw you to the mastiff!" I still get chills picturing that scene. My imagination is quite vivid and that scene frightened me when I first read it.

Watch the Jeremy Brett version. It’s very faithful to the book and the actors do an amazing job.

This, though an interesting story/read, will be boring to watch on television.. I can guarantee you that I enjoy listening to Hercule Poirot audiobooks than watching the boring movies

Mrs. Hunter is so underrated in comparison to Irene Adler

I completely agree! While I do love Irene Adler I also think that Violet Hunter is incredibly intelligent and observant, as we can clearly see in the story

As testimony to how masterly, how outstanding, how completely and utterly convincing your reading is, I freely confess that the first time I heard you say at 1:00 with authority that Holmes was busy "taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting it with the long cherry-wood pipe," I actually went to the text itself, asking myself as I looked for the sentence, "Can Sir Arthur really have written that Holmes lit the cinder with his pipe, rather than lit his pipe with the cinder, and all these years I never noticed it?" :-)

This story isn't much in terms of mystery but it's nice to see Doyle putting more agency into his female characters

More agency for his female characters - the crowd chanted. When do we want it? Now! (1890s)

@MoonLitChild 11 ай бұрын

This and The Speckled Band have been my favorite for that reason. And you can really see how much ACD cared about women not being exploited.

@bassistwithadeathwish7277 Жыл бұрын

Behind Irene Adler I believe Violet Hunter to be the best female character ACD wrote. Well characterised with her own agency, she's also one of the only victims Holmes ever seemed impressed with which is quite something. A top shelf character from a top drawer short story, the Copper Beeches is up there as one of the best, to my mind

@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Жыл бұрын

Yes. I’d forgotten about Violet Hunter. Yes, The Copper Beeches is perhaps underrated.

@MoonLitChild 11 ай бұрын

Yeeesssss. The Jeremy Brett series' version of this story is one of my faves. Brett understood why Sherlock cared so much about Violet as a character-- she stood her ground, even moreso than Mary Morestan. I like Mary, but Violet always felt more realized.

"I confess that it is not the situation which I should like to see a sister of mine apply for," says Holmes - which has led to furious speculation over whether Holmes had a sister, or even two or more. Watson never specifically says that he doesn't, nor does Holmes. All we really know is that he has a brother Mycroft, and that their forebears were country squires, with a family connection to the French painter Claude-Joseph Vernet.

Paget. He was the original illustrator, but only by accident. The proposal was to go to his brother. Both first names escape me at present.

Quite a few parallels in the dialogue and themes of this story and Hound. The comment in the train about "country life and isolated crime" and "dont go out of the house at night" (or "on the moor"). A well trained mastiff, insects for smashing or bug collecting, a trip from an urban center to an isolated countryside. Common elements?
