Wonderfulness

When you have a story about Bertie Wooster and Sherlock Holmes it tickles my inner self of the absurd and found very entertaining. All the other stories and never ending data was great

a nice mix of pastiche an nonfiction...

i particularly enjoyed Bertie Wooster and Sherlock Holmes in retirement! turns ou Sherlock was Jeeves great uncle!! Makes sense to me!

Excellent

Oh, there is so much material in here! There are some truly wonderful short stories (Colonel Warburton's Madness and The Case of the Cursed Clock being my favourites) , essays (Sherlock Holmes is Like A Folk Tale Character is just.. perfect!), the Criterion's story and there is even a section (It's a Small Sherlockian World After All) in which I was deeply surprised seeing all those crossing paths :P

The short stories are really good, with great plot and voices and the essays are superb. Entertaining, informative and clever, a necessary read for all those who love Holmes and Watson :D

And Michael Lang's narration is excellent.

I thoroughly enjoyed this whole audio book!

I reluctantly listened to Gayle Lange Puhl's, Holmes and the Folk Tale Mysteries, Book 1, some time ago. I had run out of the most popular Holmes pastiches, and didn't really think the sound of "fairy tale" Holmes would be something that I would enjoy. I was so wrong! I really liked it, and then listened to Book 2. This book would make a fantastic introduction to those two books if you have not listened to them yet. The pastiches in this book are great. I especially enjoyed "The Case of the Refurbished Room" as I have only recently started listening to Jeeves. I have only discovered Sherlock Holmes in my later years, and am no scholar, but I enjoyed the information, and found it really interesting. I am going to re-listen to the Folk Tale Books, and hope there Gayle Lange Puhl continues to write more Sherlock Holmes stories. Michael Langan does a fantastic job, as always.

Wonderful treasury of stories!

Sherlockian Stories and Studies by Gayle Lange Puhl is a treasure trove. A variety of stories and essays were entertaining and thought provoking. I enjoyed The Case of the Refurbished Room (2 favorites meet!), Colonel Warburton's Madness were my favorite stories. I loved the essay It's a Small Sherlockian World After All, reminding readers the depth and breadth of Sherlock Holmes in the arts and entertainment world. The narration by Michael Langan was outstanding! He used many different voices and accents to distinguish the characters. His performance was the perfect enhancement to this wonderful collection!
