3 A Case of Identity from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892) Audiobook 

5 am here in Missouri, cannot sleep ... thanks again Mr. Wagland for lending your remarkable voice to my favorite stories.

I have been listening this audiobooks for a month now and I can say that, this is refreshingly a superb tool to learn how to express your thoughts in English! Thank you!

I am so pleased I fell across these stories. It is so British - the tone and beautifully spoken words. Just music to the ears. Thank you x

These are the best readings of Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes stories on you tube ... brilliant and immensely enjoyable....

I like to listen to these stories they help me use my imagination and helps me to read books more often..

Your recordings are superb! I do not think anyone could do a better job at telling these stories than you do! Splendid. Thank you for this marvelous story.

How wonderful that people from all over the world enjoy your excellent renditions, Mr. Wagland. You must be truly proud.

When I first read this story, as a much younger man, I was taken aback over Holmes decision to withhold the truth from her. She came to him for truth that she did not get. I still feel that way. She would have Been shocked, but then able to take control of her life.

I can't stop listening! This is my 3rd time on this list of videos! Thank you so much!

Must have listened to these excellent narratives of Holmes,five or six months every night,can't (or won't) sleep well without listening in,thanks again for your time,

okay that bit of the guy taking out his false teeth and chucking them at his wife the first thing that came to mind was George Washington chucking them at his wife saying that they don't need anymore kids and that it was bad enough that there were ghost kids in the house ^^;;;

Not just a story but an insight into a society that is a delight to discover but not to live in. Just love the woman's voice.

"If we could fly over this city hand in hand"... Holmes, are you absolutely sure that romance is stupid and a waste of time? 😂

Honestly, this has got to be my favorite Sherlock Holmes story. I've listened to it when I was a kid, and I have it pretty much memorized by heart. I've even been working on making it a stage production for theater, but adapted for a modern audience. Been working on it since the end of last year for my local college's theater club, but haven't really touched it since last month. Now, here I am with more tips from a new theater director who took a look at it. Hopefully, I can get this made into a theater or "film" production. This audiobook sure is a fascinating take, I should also add. Well done with it!

Thank you so much for this. You've got a wonderful voice and a great way of not only reading but actually telling the story. Brilliant and a great pleasure to listen to. Keep up the good work!

I find that after listening to your recitations of these brilliant works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that when I start any other version of these stories I am disappointed in the lack of depth and breadth of the portrayal by others. You really have captured my idea of how these characters likely would have sound in real life. Thank you for taking the time to read to us all these works including those of other great authors, eg, Chesterton, Carrol and others. I find I can listen to them repeatedly every now and again and they are still fresh and alive. Best wishes and a Happy New Year for 2024 just as you wished for us in one of the Sherlock Holmes pastiches last year before I’d heard of you. Sincerely, John T. Inscrutable

I listen to these audio books to relax and calm myself.thanks very much.

Mr Wagland, I owe you many hours of pleasure and learning. You're an amazing reader, actor, performer. Every nuance of the feelings is in the tone of your voice. Thanks!!

I discovered this channel yesterday and I am hooked. Well narrated. You manage to bring alive the narrative, the suspense and mystery behind it. Thank you so much.

Absolutely engrossing. These help me so much when having a rough day.

Recently discovered your site and love the very nice way you read the stories and the different subtle changes in voice as you move from character to character in the stories. Just introduced my wife to your readings. Very pleased. Thank you .

In my book club were reading Sherlock Holmes and when we have extra time, we play these recordings and read along with it 😃

Wow! One I never heard before! What a treat! Thanks!

I adore the Sherlock Holmes books🔍🔎

This case is briefly referenced in the BBC Sherlock series, thought that was interesting.

A question to all here: is anyone here aware of any later author who has successfully imitated ACD's mastery of English and thereby added to the Sherlock Holmes canon? It is wonderful how Greg brings these stories vividly to life. Yet I am also impressed as to how ACD creates such full of life characters while keeping his so spare, economical. All the right words in alk the right places and not one word too many. A master 🏆🏆🏆

So happy I can listen this audiobook! Hope your content will be monetized again. Love your Channel and your voice, it is so relaxing :)

New reading !!! Thanks for this treat.

Finally, someone who understands you need a good VOICE to make a decent audiobook. Great Job in all elements. IMHO

If that wasn't Sherlock and Watson, then the lady coming in and describing her mysteriously missing fiance and his strange behavior would be a perfect beginning for an H.P. Lovecraft story...

Splendid!!! Thank you so much, Greg! 🤗

Wow spoiler alert but that step-father is really creepy for doing that. No wonder Holmes gets mad

I’ve heard each and everyone of these 20 times at least. I do believe I’ll try for 30. Lol. #Outstanding

Great reading, Thank you

I agree with all the comments...superb readings!!... thankyou

you do read them well. many thanks again.

What's a wonderful, soothing reading, and voicing so appropriate for SH, the Doctor, and the various characters.

I don't like mich this case, but i listen to It all the same thanks to your exquisit reading

Thanks so much for uploading this story!

Excellent... Thank you!

Your readings are a great pleasure & help me, insomniac, eventually find sleep... they are so interesting! May I make a request? Could you please include The Illustrious Client? Many thanks in advance.

Thank you!

The most perfect voice and deliverance again Thx Mr Wagland ? :)

Outstanding reading and easy to follow. Thank you very much for the excellent story telling.

Thank you very much for your remarkable Work.!🕵

Super love the stories,keep it up well done!

Best readings of SH on You Tube.

(Spoiler alert) I'm a little disappointed in Holmes at the end of this one. She paid him for an answer. Seems cowardly for him not to give her his findings, no matter how revolting they may be. He just let her go on cluelessly to waste her youth and child bearing years for the good of her unscrupulous stepfather and manipulative mother. Bad form Holmes old man. Bad form.

Are you a classically trained actor? This is so well read and entertaining

Thank you ❤

thanks again for another treat!

Top notch!

Not long started listening too, have on when im home doing stuff, very relaxing, helps alot with jobs around the house, listening to these stories, great fan of sherlock and watson.

"She pulled a Hankerchief out of her Muff" I'd like to see that video! 😂🤣😂

I've been running this same scam with my stepdaughter ever since the gasfitters' ball last spring. Fortunately, she's not the brightest girl in the world. Seriously, when I told her I can only whisper (you know, because of the quinsy) and that my name was "Hosmer", I thought I was going to lose it. But somehow I managed to keep a straight face and hold it together, and she bought it. I think my favourite part is entering a taxi by the right hand door, then exiting it by the left hand door and listening to her scream "Oy! Me poor 'osmer's done disappeared again!"

thank a lot

Faster... But as it always is... ....Perfectly

thank you

Great Job love it 👌👍👌🙂 Michael U.K.

Thank you.

Why dislikes this is an amazing video it should get none dislikes 👎🏻😡😻💖

Good!

life. SAVERS

excellent reader

5 am can't sleep, too hot in Montreal, so I'm here as usual, Lol

I loved the story

Thank you 😀

What a very strange case that A Case of Identity has presented.

Really good reading. Thank you! Dreadful plot though! Not one of Conan Doyle's finest.

you are an amazing reader! please dont limit yourself to sherlock holmes books only...

I was hoping he had concealed her in the room to hear it as a confession.

I've found "A Case Of identity" in its original STRAND MAGAZINE edition from September 1891. You can find it here: www.pulpmagazines.org/the-strand-september-1891/

Can somebody please tell me what is a "Gasfitters' Ball"?

The netflix series Sherlock contains a few references to this case

Watson who is” the woman’s man” has a terrible attitude towards this poor woman not his social equal & not attractive to him. Thankfully Holmes is the one who shows empathy here( didn’t think he could) but he puts Watson to shame in this story.

I don't think this is the voice of Dr. John Watson but an impostor. Although Edison did invent the phonograph 15 year's before this story is reported to have been written so I guess it's possible. 😊

Woo 600th person to like video!

Why can I never solve these... 😢😩

26:35 don't mind my bookmark

sounds almost like bad online dating... It could end up being your step - father lol

Personal bookmark: 11:42

Can someone explain to me the last sentence mentioning Horus and the client’s fee?

How did sherlock homles came to know that Mary Surherland was a typist?

Try getting away with the line "pulled a handkerchief from her muff" these days....

At 5:15 did Doyle actually write "un affaire du coeur"? It should be "une affaire du coeur".

Visto 1\10/20

🥰🥰

Day 1. 17:54

This isn’t exactly relevant but I was wondering why I Digress was taken off Podbean?

"Stepfather posing as online boyfriend"-Sherlock series on netflix

Never trust to general impressions my boy but concentrate yourself upon details.

Is it just me or is this one read faster?

Entirely too many commercials. Ruins the flow of the story.

;)

Comment

Not impressed with this one. Amzed to learn that Conan-Doyle was married - given his general contempt for women.

5am here in Florida with a bag of "H" and noddin' out to ole Sherlock and...zzzz,,,,

Love how the guy runs like a baby when Holmes basically gets ready to beat his ass.
