Sherlock Holmes

a Baker Street Dozen
Jun 24, 2013
12 of Conan-Doyle's most popular Sherlock Holmes short strories, dramatized, w/Sir John Gielgud as Sherlock. Orson Wells makes an appearance in "The Final Problem" episode, as Professory Moriarty. These episodes were originally broadcast as 1/2 hour radio plays; the content stays true to the original stories, but is somewhat abridged, for length. And therefore, while this 6 CD set is entertaining for a listen, many subtle story points are deleted, making these plays not as good as the original stories. The stories are better in the original unabridged form, and are available that way in a separate title in audio CD format elsewhere in the SC library catalog.
