I just love the familiarity I’ve come to enjoy in your voice, Greg Wagland; your work is exceptional and most engaging to my imagination, I am so grateful. Blessings to you, & yours, good Sir!📚📖📮🆙🌐💙📬🪭🎁
Perfectly put! Greg, your superb gift transforms us directly into the tale. And then...we remember...it is you doing the spot on inflection, the voice of each character and the air of curiosity in the air! It transforms us. Thank you. Each time finish another, we rub our hands together in anticipation for the evening time. Like getting a wonderful text from a grand friend!
I've always loved this story, being something of a Boulnois myself. Content in my oen little wrld of blissful underachievement, at least in some ways. I even pretended to be the "housesitter" at my own front door on one occasion (press prying into the private life of one of my neighbours!), for I was young at the time. In subsequent years I would have told them where their hook could be slung! Ha! I really enjoy these Father Brown narrations. He's such an endearing character. I went to an RC primary school and when we hit the age of 11 we were allowed to read the Father Brown books if deemed suitably mature. I devoured them!
Whenever one has been away for awhile, listening to this and that on librivox, one feels like coming home to the very heart of the art of reading. Ah, mr. Wagland, Sir, thank you so much for regaling us with the precious fruits of your work!
Your reading, as always Mr. Wagland, is excellent. Some Father Brown stories drag along until I’m ready to throw something! But this one clips along at a fine pace. I suffered no pangs listening till the end at one sitting.
This story is a classic example of Chesterton's wit and wisdom. The plot is engrossing and thought-provoking, and the narration enhances the experience, making it a must-listen for fans of classic detective stories.Thank you!
It's always a great day when there is a new Greg Wagland on my RU-vid home page! I noticed the omissions from _The Wisdom of Father Brown_ ..... At least one of which I find entirely justifiable .....
This was satisfying and the "pot..." Was a lot to deal with as you mentioned. Its nice to hear your reactions and salutations at the end. Wish you had one every day. Is this channel your primary business? Is it the best way to support your art?
So wonderfully read, Greg. I also prefer more ACD. Chesterton's prose feels fussy to me, yet more flat than expressive. That "Green Flag" by ACD was a corker. On the other, your reading/acting talent makes even Chesterton interesting.
I'm going through father Brown withdrawals 😂 Hopefully a new one or really any story you wish to read, will come out soon 😊..I'll be waiting patiently.
Hey Greg, I was listening to your wonderful narration of The Hound of The Baskervilles, and I couldn't help but wonder why no ads played prior to the video. I played a few other videos on your channel and it was evident that that was not an isolated incident. To get to the crux of my question, has RU-vid disabled ads on your channel? If so, do you have other means of earning money?
This channel maintains the exception to the advertising rule; however, giving a little as a THANK$! can make a difference in keeping the stories clear of interruptions- just a little something to keep in mind, these folk deserve to have their time, energy, talents, literary wisdom, & dramatic arts acknowledged with financial renumeration, so having two ads prior to the start of the story & at the end is crediting where credit is due. There are other opportunities for AMSR Sleep Apps/Podcasts for a non-ad experience; though, I personally credit this channel with helping save my sanity & that is priceless! 🕊️🌎🌏🌏🧿📚📖💙
Well, it’s all here on this channel - all the Conan Doyle Sherlock anyway. I fear there may be no surprise additions - a jar full of manuscripts like the Dead Sea Scrolls 😅
If there is anyway I can convince you to read all kinds of other stories like the grim tales or alice in wonderland original tales do tell me and I will love you forever ❤
Around again, bc, it is a rather good one, isn't it? A very strange one, too, I think, starting with the inexplicably spooky walk up to the castle grounds and then the sudden and absolute abandonment of the figure with whom we'd entered the story. I deeply like the idea of a shallow poser so vexed by indifference of a deep thinker that he'd kill himself out of sheer desperation - even the attempt to blame the professor seeming to have been an afterthought.
Will you do more Sherlock Holmes stories? I know you have done all from Canon of Doyle and I have heard them all so many times :). But there are so many other great ones? (None close to Mr. Doyle himself) but still good? And your voice will obviously make them great!
Some of the later ones from Robert Lancelyn-Green's anthology (Penguin) are worthwhile. I can't stand Bret Harte's satirical take, though. I'm in the middle of writing my second Holmes adventure. It's not an easy thing to do.
It's been too long, GW. Why does a month without a new story feel like a year? Of course, you have a busy life and real acting jobs outside of your RU-vid following. We're trying to be patient, but we can quote Sherlock Holmes and Father Brown from memory now. You are missed. 🩵
