The Terror of the Blue John Gap by Arthur Conan Doyle 

I've been working nights (Japanese company) for the past 3 months and your smooth voice gets me to sleep better than anything. I must have listened to at least 50 your narrations by now. Incredible voice and fantastic voice-acting. You've really helped my life in a positive way. Thank you very much Greg. I wish I could read like you for my students!

This is addressed to mr. Wagland if I can possibly ever hope that he'll read this. Sir I love listening and watching Jeremy Brett and Edward hardwicke on all the Sherlock Holmes series but I have to tell you that I love listening to you talk when you talk in your audiobooks for magpie. I think you are very very special with your talent in being able to switch to every single dialect and accent in an absolute moment. You have a superb speaking voice and I enjoyed to know and all your stories whether they be Sherlock Holmes Conan Doyle stories or whatever. You sir, are superb. I have said this a few times on other sites dealing with Sherlock Holmes and Jeremy Brett because I adore him as an actor, even if he is no longer with us. But you sir, have an impeccable voice for reading and narrating stories. I wish more people in the world today could talk and sound like you do. Thank you for many enjoyable hours.

My favorite Channel. You’ve reached legendary status in my circle of friends. When one might ask my schedule I would reply “I’m about to embark on The Adventure of....The Dreaded Dentist Visit” etc.

What a brilliant choice of narrator !! 💜 Beautiful voice !!😘 🎇 👏👏👏👏

This is my favorite of Doyle's short stories. The tension during the cave scene feels like something out of Jurassic Park. He really was one of the greatest authors of his day.

i’m on a Greg Wagland binge :) listening to older ones and finding a few new ones - Yea! thanks so much. . . ✨🌷

Blue John is a mineral called fluorite and you can read about it if you google it. Wikipedia has a long and very detailed piece on Blue John with lots of images. Besides Derbyshire, it’s also found in Belgium, Mexico, Illinois and China. Very interesting to read about

Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle was a magnificent story teller.

I mistakenly thought, that the John Blue Gap, held the possible terror, of my appointment, with the dentist.

This story reminds me of H P Lovecraft's story 'The Beast in the Cave' and I did wonder if there had been a bit of cross-pollination going on. But although HPL wrote his story in 1905, it was not published anywhere until 1918, eight years after Doyle wrote this. So I guess it's just a case of great minds thinking alike! Thanks for this great reading Greg.

In case anyone is wondering:

Brilliantly read

This strange tale has fascinated my imagination for years now like the shadow of a cloud passing slowly past a large hill or knoll amorphic and chilling. Sometimes I wish I had never read and reread it as a youth. It still frightens me.

Thank you so much for these lovely readings

Absolutely sir Arthur Conan Doyle! Thanks for posting

Each one a gem. Many I’ve read previously, some a number of times. Others will be for the first time, but not, I hope, the last.

I had never heard of Blue John before listening to this story,, and it's been fun to read about this mineral and see photos of how it's been crafted into many beautiful objects.

The greatest reader ever. Thank you 🙏

Very, very. curious. I certainly would not have ventured into that cave. His effort for scientific approach was rather good. Thank you Mr. Wagland!

Wonderful rendition. And of a wonderfully-paced tale: so little actually happens, if you think on it; it just relies on an immaculate narrative. Bravissimo, to our actor and author in equal measure.
