Ben Kingsley is actually a good narrator. This surprised me as unlike other film actors, Kingsley really can act with his voice. And he is good as both men and women. This recording includes seven (of 56) Holmes short stories, culled from "Adventures" (4) "Memoirs" (2) and "Return" (1) collections. The stories are on 4CDs running a little over 4.5 hours, with a new track about every 5 minutes. I think the recording is fresh and the audio has good sonics. Kingsley has the ability to liven the text of these century-old stories.My experience with Holmes audio is that it's best to listen to a single story at a sitting. They each run about 20 to 30 minutes.A Scandal in Bohemia (1891)-- the famous Irene Adler story: "Good Night, Mr. Holmes"The Red-Headed League (1891)-- #2 on Conan Doyle's list of favoritesThe Man With The Twisted Lip (1891)-- good men in an opium denThe Adventure of the Copper Beeches (1892) -- pretty nanny in an unsavoury houseThe Adventure of the Crooked Man (1893)-- hmmmm, a locked door but no key...The Adventure of the Cardboard Box (1892)-- adultery, guilt and a boxThe Adventure of the Six Napoleons (1904)-- #8 on list of "Baker Street": the Mafia.
I've listened to several Sherlock Holmes stories online, and these recordings are the best. I purchased four of the six stories here on cassette back in the mid '90s or so, and never tire of them. I wish Kingsley had done more. Highly recommended.
the sherlock holmes was great i enjoyed all the cd's and was tell anyone to get this one. all clear and in nice shape no troubles
