These stories were written and read over a hundred years ago but only now are we fortunate enough to have Mr Wagland to read them to us now through KZfaq.

I find myself turning to these wonderful stories whenever insomnia pays me a visit ( all too often). The stories are so well read that I scarcely remember that all the characters are brought to life by Mr. Wagland....a most talented actor! His interpretation of Mr. Doyle's writings has set the bar for all other audio books. A high one indeed!

You have a great gift here. You illuminate stories that are closer and closer to being distant memories. Your cadence and voice transports me--a relatively young American guy--to a place chronologically and spatially far, wherein the language is just recognizable enough to grasp meaning and acquire words otherwise gone in my present world.

Like many of you I also find listening to these Sherlock Holmes audio stories relaxing and often fall asleep when I listen at night. The sonorous pleasant voice is pleasant. I suspect some of the critics were comparing them to videos, perhaps even modern violent fast-action videos, which they are not. Visual and audio experiences are processed differently. Visual input is processed quickly where as audio input is processed slower and more deliberately. The modern age is predominantly visual. I listen to a LOT of audio books (primarily history) and find that I retain the information much better. Better still, sometimes I get the print book, too, and read along with the audio.

Beautiful readings. I’m curious, are these abridged or the complete stories? Also, since I love the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes episodes, it’s fascinating to see the changes made by the TV writers. I think at the end of Brett’s Golden Pince-Nez the revolutionaries find the chain-smoking traitor, and kill him. Once again, Greg Wagland, beautiful work, and thank you.

Yes, a few changes in the TV episode. I believe Edward Hardwicke was filming Shadowlands at the time, so Watson was replaced by Charles Gray as Mycroft Holmes. It was he that used snuff (that he pretended to drop on the floor by accident) to determine the footsteps of someone hiding in the room.

Conan Doyle: Hmm, now I will write about Russians, should I spend time researching their names? No, how silly of me, of course not, I remember whole Russian culture perfectly probably. To explain: Sergey and Alexey would be the right versions, the ones in the story are certainly real eastern European variants of the same names, but totally not Russian.

The general consensus is that Watson’s wife Mary, had died sometime during ‘The Great Hiatus’ (the period between 1891-1894 when Holmes was erroneously thought to be dead after his battle with Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbech Falls. Although there are a handful of Sherlockians who that “Watson’s bereavement” could refer to anything from a divorce to Mary having a mental breakdown and being committed to an asylum to her having died in childbirth due to a miscarriage.

Au contraire. The revolutionaries don't come off that bad here - not that they're good, but it's the professor who really sold his soul to the Czarist rulers. The 1905 revolutionaries couldn't have known how murderous the Communists ended up being. Czarist rule was horrible.
