Book Reviews of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 1 (A CSA Word Classic)
Book Review: Wonderful readings by the best of the Watsons
Summary: 5 Stars
Edward Hardwicke replaced David Burke as the second Watson to Jeremy Brett's seminal Sherlock Holmes on the BBC Granada television series. His portrayal of Watson was warm, authentic, arguably the best Watson of any time.
Here Mr. Hardwicke performs six canon adventures of Sherlock Holmes. This is not a mere reading, but a well crafted performance of the stories by a gifted actor. While there are many audio adaptations of Conan-Doyle's Holmes, this is by far the best I've had the privelege to listen to. Mr. Hardwicke imbues the stories with new life and energy, astounds and enthralls us just as the mysteries themselves do.
Summary of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 1 (A CSA Word Classic)
Following the 1893 publication of what was meant to be the last Sherlock Holmes story, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle relented under the pressure of intense public demand and irresistible financial offers from British and American publishers and revived the celebrated sleuth for “The Adventure of the Empty House.? That story, and the other five collected here, date from this later period. All were featured in Granada?s classic United Kingdom television series of the 1990s. Included are “The Adventure of the Devil?s Foot,? “The Adventure of the Abbey Grange,? “The Adventure of the Cardboard Box,? “The Man With the Twisted Lip,? and “The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans.?
