    Doyle's supernatural stories are woefully underappreciated.

    One of your strengths Greg is your pacing, and your timing too.

    This was the story of my first old time radio drama, about 42 years ago.

    I so enjoy your readings of these great, unknown (to me), short stories. Just the right length & the perfect accompaniment to enforced lockdown. Many many thanks.

    Conan Doyle was always a great story teller and in many ways underrated on other works outside Sherlock Holmes like this one! Is a wonderful world that Doyle have left for has to enjoy and will never be forgotten.

      Yes. He could create an atmosphere and rachet up the tension with a few strokes of the pen. That plus a vivid imagination and an insatiable interest in a multitude of subjects marks him out from many others. He is similar to the great Ray Bradbury
      and Edgar Allan Poe in that respect .

    January 1890: "The Ring Of Thoth" by (later Sir) Arthur Conan Doyle is published.
    Includes line " *Carter* will be waiting for us at the Palais Royal," ( 5:08 ).
    November 1922: Howard *Carter* discovers tomb of Tutankhamun.
    Coincidence? *I think not*
    Conan Doyle was clearly a witch

      The tale of Tutankam is ingeniously constructed.

      @@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Indeed! I think I once heard a recording of you reading the King James Bible. If it was you, it was beautiful. Do you do other classics? Some Thomas Hardy would be nice.

    Doyle was a very wise and learned person. In history, sociology, psychology, the arts, the occult, and much more. What a fascinating author and story. I wonder if this is the largest scale character Doyle wrote, a polyglot immortal from prehistory.

    This is the third story of Doyle's I've come across that is structured in this way; two stories welded together.

    That's the third time I've listened to this and I discover something new every time largely due to the wonderful delivery (Conan Doyle did a good job too to give him his due;)). You have narrowed the art of narration down to a fine art.

  • @Duchess_Van_Hoof

    This reminds me a lot of The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley. A wonderfully tragic story as well.
