I'm absolutely loving your recordings Greg... currently listening to a story every night before I go to sleep. Thank you.... They are thoroughly wonderful 😊
I am SO thrilled to find your narrations! My commute to work is no longer a drudge. Now the only bad part is when I get so lost in the story that I miss my train stop! 😊
Ah, there are many a boss scene in this tale! Sherlock completely destroying Woodley in the pub! And, of course, when he took everyone’s guns and took full control over the situation. Truly a master at his trade~
Is this how South African people of English descent speak? Graeme Smith, Shaun Pollock, and Whackhead Simpson sound pretty different - something between a UK and an Australian accent. The names of characters seem to be of English origin. I am Indian, not South African, but I think that the characters have been force fitted with an Afrikaans accent when they're obviously of English descent. Ps: I love all your work, the effort you put in, and the authenticity quite well. You did Indian accents quite well in the Sign of the four.
Thanks so much for narrating these books! I can't seem to relax and its nearly 1am, but your sherlock audiobooks always help me unwind so I know problem will be solved soon ❤
Long time I read those narratives... seemed like I was too lazy to read... but then, reading the book accompanied by the audios gave me strength again to continue reading ... thx a whole lot for sharing!
Thank you so much greg. Im in the middle of listening all of SH stories for the second time now your amazing readings have given me many hours of joy and relaxation Keep up the wonderful work❤
I have a desire to hear you every night. 😉 if I may be so bold to ask if you have ever thought of reading for sleep meditation. Your voice is really beautiful especially before bed. As I suffer from insomnia you lead me to the edge of sleep and i wake up and it's morning. Thank you so much. ☺
Thanks Tracey. I've never thought of doing a sleep meditation but perhaps I'll muse on it a little more. It would need some soothing music too, I guess. Thanks for the idea!
Okay. If you are reading this before you watch, didn't the heroine in her initial interview say her S African Uncle was Cyril? And at the end the telegram read Ralph? Just wondering if I am daft or not.
This tale is one of the scariest for me having been in a similar situation before. It's sad we live in a world where circumstances from the late 1800s can still be felt today. 💔

It's easy to forget, having been somewhat annoyed at the rarefied class atmosphere of these stories, how natural they are for the gentry and what a break for all those living in poverty.
*Watson:* _(narrating)_ Holmes’s quiet day in the country had a singular termination, for he arrived at Baker Street late in the evening with a large ice pack on his forehead, besides a general air of dissipation which would have made his own person the fitting object of a Scotland Yard investigation. *Salem Saberhagen:* _(as Holmes)_ We had got as far as this when who should walk in but good old Mr. Woodley, who had been drinking his beer in the taproom and had heard the whole conversation. Who was I? What did I want? What did I mean by asking blah, blah, blah? Quite big language he used back there; his adjectives were very... um, _vigorous._ He ended a string of abuse by a vicious stomp to the loose floorboard I was on, catapulting me into the ceiling. The next few minutes were delicious. It was a slogging ruffian against a scratchy little ball of fur, and I don't mean the itchy kind. I emerged as you see me. Mr. Woodley went home with bandages running from noggin to neck. _(one of his catchphrases)_ He-he-he...
Spoiler alert: The cyclist is not even involved during the climax. She just serves as the MacGuffin and her presence interferes with the male rivalry and showdown.
Another great Sherlock. It is amazing how Conan Doyle could weave such twisting and brilliant stories. And of course Mr. Wagland is an equally brilliant reader. Thank you!

I love these so much. I can’t hear any other narrator anymore.
Thanks, Lyra! Very nice of you to say so, although I do become a bit wearing after a while! I'm told...
Sherlock Holmes Stories Magpie Audio I disagree!
Not by a long shot dear Sir!
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audiowho?!😤 i’ll fight them! ur the best❤
I’m South African and I must say that’s one of the best South African accents I’ve heard being put on. Kudos
Hello from South East, Texas….
Period accurate accent too
"You're too late! She's my wife!"
"No, she's your widow."
Ha!
I love that
Savage
Who knew Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote blockbuster one-liners? :D
@@xwongx seriously 😳
The voice that you have chosen for Mr. Holmes is exactly as I imagined. Thank you for the amazing audio!!
You're very welcome!
Uhhhh I
I'm absolutely loving your recordings Greg... currently listening to a story every night before I go to sleep. Thank you.... They are thoroughly wonderful 😊
Glad you like them!
Me, too! I have for years now. This is probably my most reliable routine in my whole day
This one of the best stories. I usually listen to these to help me sleep. This kept me spell bound. Love the reading and accents
Cheers Dee
The insults in this are brilliant!
Superb! Thank you.
You are a master at your craft, Greg, as was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whom I’m certain would have loved your readings.
Best line: Holmes "his adjectives were very vigorous" 🤣🤣
And his adverbs a bit limp, sadly ;-)
on the subject of grammar, i always like [ out of the bohemia scandal]...' only the germans would be so careless with their verbs' or words t.t.e.
Simply Amazing....
If your reading , im listening ..as always, thank you
Cheers Michael.
Wonderfully voiced Holmes.
I am SO thrilled to find your narrations! My commute to work is no longer a drudge. Now the only bad part is when I get so lost in the story that I miss my train stop! 😊
Yes, I've done that once or twice, due to falling asleep. And it's invariably the last train! Very annoying!
Thanks Mona O!

I’m from Johannesburg. Well done on the South African accent.
Thanks Lihle. Kind of you to say so. Best wishes.

Every evening, as I wind down, the stories are de rigueur for my routine.
Glad you like them!
stupendous audio clip!!!!!
Cheers Sanket.
Holmes is so sassy towards Watson 😆
The Solitary Cyclist sure was entertaining, even just the title alone is enough to say, "Wow", on my lips.
Love this. Great stuff bro
Thanks so much for narrating these books! I can't seem to relax and its nearly 1am, but your sherlock audiobooks always help me unwind so I know problem will be solved soon ❤

Glad to hear it. Many thanks, eladoren
Ah, the South African accent is so difficult to emulate. But this is one of the best tries that I have ever heard.
37:14 I audibly went "oh shit" that was such an awesome response lol
Ha! Better out that in.
Thank you , enjoy listening to these , such a pleasant narrative
Glad you enjoyed them, Christine!
Anything else read by Gregg,,,,, ,?Very enjoyable listening especially at night 👌

I listen to your narration every evening. I would love to hear you read harry potter
Thanks Joanna. I'd love to be paid to read Harry Potter!
Love... Thank you!
Certainly 1 of my favorites so far-such colourful language😏
Colourful language! Always enjoyable.
As someone from Pretoria (in between Johannesburg and Kimberly) I enjoy the South African accent
Thank you
Acertain is actually my favorite law enforcement word
Thank-You for uploadin
You're welcome
Love this narrator
Thanks Carol. This narrator thanks you.
Thank you Greg!! GreT job as always :)
Glad you liked it!
I'm currently reading along in my Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 2.
It is unexplained how Caruthers had a 10 year old daughter but said his love for Violet Smith was the first time he ever loved.
I believe it can happen!
Such fun & funny. Pray proceed

I may have missed something but what happened to the little girl she was teaching?
