Arthur Conan Doyle's 'That Little Square Box' was first published in London Society magazine in December 1881.
It takes place on a British steam ship, not that illustrated (!), and concerns a couple of Englishmen, an Irishman and a German. Why did the Finnegan and Muller nearly miss the boat, what are they concealing and why are they so nervous?
It's a curious early Doyle, and he signed it A.C.D.
It is read by Greg Wagland.

This story is GREAT....you had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Totally enjoyable....fantastic ending! I tried to guess several endings during the reading....NOT....EVEN....CLOSE!!

@zoobyshoe694 3 года назад

I am so happy you are recording these unknown Conan Doyle stories. IMO they are just as entertaining as any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. I hope you do more of them!

@mr.peevyshow1914 2 года назад

I think Sherlock stories are better.

Yet another Conan Doyle story I hadn't heard of. Beautifully read, as always. Many thanks.

A new level of excellent accents. Your Irish accent was beautiful. You transitioned so well from English to German to American and to a fine Irish. It’s exciting to hear these relatively unknown stories. Thanks Greg. It’s always a pleasure to hear your voice.

I love these short stories...always a little twist in the tale.

@craftyrouze 3 года назад

Didn't expect the twist to be so great. Throughout the entire story I kept thinking he should have gone to the captain straight a way. I can sense the foolishness of the main character.

Loved it! As always with your readings, I get totally immersed. This time so much so that I burst out laughing at the end and felt embarrassed for the main character😍thank you!

@samueldavidrucker7514 3 года назад

Thank you! Very well read. For the astute reader this story contains volumes encapsulated in the fewest words; a parable. I'm becoming convinced Doyle was one of the greatest writers who ever lived.

@cheriegonzales7632 2 года назад

What a comic twist! Never knew Sir ACD had that much of a funny bone in him.

@lynnsloan3855 3 года назад

Thank you, Greg Wagland, for another new title (enjoyed the ‘Silver Hatchet’, by the way) and for providing an escape from the rampant “flue” porn- ... best regards!

@johnnye87 3 года назад

I never knew making fun of Americans for saying "Yurrup" was a tradition that dated back to 1890

@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio 3 года назад

I know. I found that fascinating.

@judithgockel1001 Месяц назад

It goes back further than that. Making fun of ‘colonials’ has been a British sport for centuries.

@anthonysokolsky6210 2 года назад

Wow what an innocent twist to the story! Brilliant AC Doyle!

@hangawara 3 года назад

Help. LOST STORY TITLE. Not The Lost World I believe. In brief: maybe a Conan Doyle story or parody, man convinced to accompany team up S. American river to a land of dinosaurs, a ravine is traversed by felling a tall tree, tree removed and explorers exposed to monkey men. In the end some explorers return and at a lecture a baby pterodactyl suprises all.

@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio 3 года назад

The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. Available on Spotify called Classic Breakdown.

@hangawara 3 года назад

Thank you. I found what I was looking for. The reason I thought it was a parody must be because it is actually a BBC drama... btw really enjoy your digressions.

@tracymarie4633 Год назад

Doyle wrote this? "I tried not to shake it." But they were RUNNING to the ship. Other blaring errors too. Blah. Not narrators' problem. Well done narrator.

That was amusing. I had thought the whole time it would have been some extraordinary firework or something of that nature. But the ending was truly a very good twist. Thank you for sharing this.
