7 The Blue Carbuncle from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892) Audiobook 

I love the fact that in all these stories. every medical treatment is. give him some Brandy

16:23 good minecraft oof dude

" I have no doubt that I am stupid" I burst into laughter at watson's tone

Geese don't have crops and they digest and pass their food in 2 hours. So it's not very plausible but ACD didn't know those fun facts about geese. (I have lots of geese.)

This and the Hound of Baskervilles are the two stories I read when in school and what a vivid memory i have of Mr.Henry Baker’s hat 😄 Thank you for bringing this story back to me and the memories attached.

I never before noticed how many times Watson ejaculates. I've relistened this playlist from the beginning the last few days. This is the third or fourth time. It's amazing how words usage changes with time.

A perfect rendition with perfect timing.

My favourite will always be “The Speckled Band” Just love “ I raised his snakish temper!”😄😄

Loved it. I am really getting into the habit of listening to your audiobooks regularly, they are so magnificent. It always cheers me up. Thank you for the many hours of joy!

Still listen to these nightly. I put them on a playlist and just let them play all night long

This always makes me wonder--what about the police who found the stone? If Holmes wanted to keep it as a souvenir, would the policeman ever get his thousand pound reward?

Thank youu sooo much!! This really helped me with a book report. It actually helped me enjoy the story having the voice acting be so amazing!

Loved it! I'm surprised that The blue carbuncle wasn't on Doyle's favorites list, it is an enjoyable and clever story. "Watson, you can see everything. You fail, however, to reason from what you see. You are too timid in drawing your inferences." Honestly, Who wouldn't be hesitant to tell his inferences to Sherlock Holmes? Despite what he said, Dr. Watson wasn't stupid he was, after all, a medical doctor and he was often able to follow Holmes's reasoning.

Just saw the Jeremy Brett version of this on TV and I was a little disappointed that he kept the carbuncle! So I decided to listen to the original, here, only to find that the only mention Holmes makes is that it stays in his "Museum" and that, unlike Brett's Holmes, he doesn't even get up and free the accused! Would the readers, back in the day, be rightly expected to assume that he would do the right thing; return the jewel in some way to make it appear was never stolen in the first place and we're just not sophisticated enough in this day&age to make those connections?

My second favorite Holmes story after The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Good job! I really enjoyed this audio book!

You guys got me an A+ in my exams cuz of this audiobook

This helped me with my book report. Thank you so much!

Why didn’t poor old Henry Baker get some of the reward? He really needed it! Plus they allowed that poor innocent man to remain in jail despite having proof he was completely innocent? Yet let the guilty man go Scot free???

One of my favorite adventures...well written ...I listen to the story every Christmas 🎄

Your voice reminds me of David Burke delievering his dialouges... beautiful.. thank u

My favorite S H story & my favorite narrator !

You are one of very few who bring out the forgotten or overlooked humour in the Sherlock Holmes stories. The very title of this one is a joke! :)

Poor guy and his wife that actually found the stone didn’t even get the 1000 pound reward money. Would have been life changing for them. I remember thinking that decades ago when I first read this tale and still think of that when I hear it told.

during my Navy days based in Portsmouth I used to walk past the site of Doyles GP surgery on Elm Grove, it is now the site of flats. Not sure how much use of Brandy he prescribed though !

What a wonderful story.

You guys got me an A+ in my exams cuz of this audiobook

Great as usual. I'm reading again my SH collection and listening to your audiobooks. Makes it much more pleasant

I listen to the stories for both relaxation and for knowledge. Sherlock holmes has taught me a lot which has helped me in my own cases. Thank you mr Holmes for teaching me.

Great reading. One of my favorite stories.

Don't know the stories Doyle thought were his best. This one belongs to his best.

Such quality, had to subscribe 👍

Extra comment because someone said there weren't enough

Greatest voice in the whole world except Sam Elliot Lol!

But what about the maid? 🤔

This channel helps me keep up with book discussions each week.

One of my favorite Sherlock stories. I guess because it's centered around Christmas. Fyi - Peter Cushing plays Sherlock in a tv adaptation that I like to watch every year around this time.

Wow

It's the time of year for this!

The Blue Carbuncle my favourite Holmes story closely followed by the Hound of the Baskervilles 😊. A self confessed Sherlock Holmes (the original ACD stories of course) NERD. Loving these audio stories thank you 😊🎉

I keep listening to the story....love the audio....

My favorite is the valley of fear.. I love them all though

Jephero rucastle and the mastiff

A lovely little story

Was ACD an early adherent to the Kalergi Plan? Two stories with that theme makes it seem just so.

So sad for what the U.K. has become.

“My dear Holmes!” Lol

Good evening everyone, some months ago, I wrote a comment asking help to find a story, I got some answers but no one can identify it, so I decided to listen to all the stories in order to find it. Here I am, 6 months later and I did not find it!!! I am truly starting to think that I dream this and it doesnt actually exist!!! It starts describing a very cold and foggy day, sherlock its at the basement making a lot of noise and watson is reading something, then at dinner sherlock tells watson something about a very important experiment (something about bullets being fired, i think) and tells him that if he wants to know about this he must promise to stay at home and not talk to anyone, watson accepts this and sherlock goes back to the basement; then in the middle of the nigth a friend of watson arrives at the house and ask him to receive him. Thats the part where I always felt asleep. If anyone can help me with this I will be forever grateful!!! I am sure that im not creative enough to dream the story by myself but I listened to all the stories here, even the pastiches and I CAN NOT FOUND IT, maybe I dont remember correctly or I dont know... help please!!

Love these mysteries, thanks!

I don't know if these are in order but you would think the Watson would have been able to deduce that the hat was of good quality. After all they were as familiar with hats as we are with sunglasses or something similar. A modern person can usually tell a quality pair of glasses over cheap ones especially if one wore them every day. The mistake Holmes makes is to assume a large head signifies a large brain and that a large brain signifies high intelligence. Einstein had a smaller than average brain.

13:31 don't mind my bookmark

Back to reality ❣️.

Back to reality ❣️

Thank you!!!!

Dziękuję

What is the turning point in it ??? Please tell

I called on my best friend in the two whole days AFTER Christmas to tell him Merry Christmas. He is all alone in the world; has no other friends and just one reclusive brother. Holmes was looking intensely at a hat when I entered. He looked busy, so I almost left.

Did I really hear him say_ jollification? 😆

I thought you were David Burke for a second

Only 3 comments there should be more
