The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

De: Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrado por: Sir John Gielgud, Orson Welles

"The original and immortal stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle…"

Sir John Gielgud stars as Sherlock Holmes with Sir Ralph Richardson as Dr. Watson. John's brother, Val Gielgud, the celebrated mystery author and producer, directs several episodes and co-stars in one of them... as Sherlock's brother! As a finishing touch, Orson Welles plays the evil Moriarty. The shows created by this very special team are possibly the greatest Sherlock Holmes radio programs ever produced. This set features all sixteen episodes in their most complete surviving examples - taken from what currently exists of the syndication masters.

Come hear tales of mystery and murder, espionage and intrigue, revenge and resolution in the gas-lit London of Queen Victoria, hansom cabs, and one brilliant Baker Street detective.

Best Holmes performers

Where does The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Highly, although it is a radio broadcast and not an audiobook.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Richardson and Gielgud are the BEST cast for Sherlock Holmes stories.

Which character – as performed by Sir John Gielgud and Orson Welles – was your favorite?

They are both excellent

Wonderful renditions!

The voice acting in these incredible stories brings me right there to 221B. I can't recommend these enough.

It's elementary to buy this

Good voice acting, sound affects are good and it's Sir ACD's work dramatized anew, what's boy to like. Definitely worth it for those who like Sherlock Holmes or radio dramas.

The audio is a bit off from time to time, but nothing that completely ruins the stories.

Sherlock Holmes

Loved it . Have listened to it several times. Great production, very well done. As for the actors, well, what would you expect from 2 of the finast actors ever!!!

A Dearly Loved And Enduring Favorite

Finding this series on Audible made me so happy. I first got this series on tape as a small girl. We used to listen to it during car trips across the country. Later, I listened to it when I was lonesome until I'd completely worn out the tapes. These stories take me back into a safe, cozy place, and I'm so grateful that they've been added to the library.

The violin was awful

I was excited about this book. The narration was great. The violin in between scenes got very tiresome and I couldn’t keep listening to it. I am going to return this and look for something else.
