The Usher of Lea House School (1899) by Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. 

Yay! I love anything by Arthur Conan Doyle, especially his ghost stories. Also I love Sherlock Holmes! I live in Baker Street in London! I walk past where they give the tour every single day! Everybody pray for the end of this lockdown so that we can get our lives back and open up Our cities! And if you don’t believe in any kind of spirituality! I’m not religious but very spiritual, then just think positively about the situation! Blessings!

Best start to my day ever... 8:30 and snowing here in Steamboat Springs Colorado.

Two Sir ACD stories within 10 days, now you're spoiling us! Thank you Greg!

Such joy when I find a new Magpie Audio story in my rotation. I've said before and here again, that Mr. Wagland could read the instructions on how to install a washing machine and make it sound mysterious and exciting!!

Great to hear you, Greg!

Oooh, do you know you are my sleep-mate? I always listen to ur voice before I fall asleep. It's so deep and relaxing.

Greg's narration makes my ears wiggle in delight :)

Oh yes! Always DELIGHTED when Mr. Wagland gives us a new reading. My ultimate recipe for a good night's sleep (in the nicest possible way). Much obliged sir.

Thank you so much. Excellent as always:))) 👍

Yes! You have the most soothing voice! You could be reading the telephone book and I’d be listening along enjoying every moment.

You explore the rare gems... and we have the privilege of enjoying them... Thank you Greg, for you have not kept us awaited long.

Again, thank you good sir.

Brilliant work.

Never heard this before. Brilliant! Keep up the good work fella and stay safe.

So good to hear you again.

Thank you!

Your oratory is fantastic gift. Another well spent hour at work courteousy of your time, effort, and dedication. Appreciated as always. Many thanks to you. ✌️& Favour ALL, GW be blessed.

This had me on edge with the suspense. What a great storyteller! Thanks.

Thank you!!!🔥😉

So glad to see another story from you Greg! Great ending to this week. Thank you and have a great weekend!

Thanks, Greg, for another interesting story. Your postings of other ACD stories have given me a sympathy for him being tired of people wanting only Holmes. He really had a range and you are helping to show it

Good painting. Imagine how many of these people were friends of the artist. LOL. And the angle the boy with the pointer is to what he is pointing at. It is almost double his height. Looking at this on the computer screen makes is apparent how far we've come.

A brilliant story. A wonderful narration/acting by one of the best.

You're a master at finding these hidden gems, and at performing them!

Thanks for another gem from Arthur Conan Doyle masterly writings.

And this is why Conan Doyle is an absolute great. He knew one day, great narrators like wagland would keep his voice alive.

wonderful reading. thanks so much, again. this was a new one for me, surprisingly. i did guess right, but not the reasons, so it was no less enjoyable. Keep safe :) 🌷📚 OMG - this is new today - what luck in finding it !! :)

Yay! Happy to hear you again!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful as ever .cheers Greg

Award winning is your voice acting, narration / reading style. Ty 👍 Another great show.

Every reading is a great treat👍

I have listened to these stories innumerable times. I can quote parts of them word for word. So easy to love the gorgeous writing and acting. ACD + GW = 100%

Ahhhhhh yes. Yes. Cheers Greg. 🙂👍🏻

You really are spoiling us at the moment.

Great performance, Greg! Thank you! 😊

The absolute best narration voice.

Sir, another great reading! Thanks for the excellence again

Here I am again showing my gratitude to Mr. Greg Wagland for his incredible readings. Cheers

It's really so nice to hear you⚘🌷⚘

the british writers of the 19th century are surely eternally at the apex of all writers in the english language....such lovely structure and vocabulary and subtle intelligence....such charming and approachable stories full of human stress and distress in the most humanely evil and disturbingly pleasant ways. the narration is superb and supremely brilliant and intelligent .... so different from other entertainments is 21st century USA

Thank you

Thank you for such a fine reading.

Everything you post is terribly fantastic! I adore your dictation and your reading of The Brazilian Cat often brings peace through fitful unrest, so I thank you!

Beautiful Voice Man 🥰

Thank you for uploading. Loved your voice and excellent reading. ❤👍

Thank you again 😌

Loved this one, thanks Greg ❤️

I check everyday to see if Mr Wagland has uploaded a new audiobook. Greg, you are just the best!! And I'm dying to hear more from you. Hope you are happy and healthy, I'll wait....

Re~listen Thanks *Greg*

Aaweome as always.

Times and attitudes change. The Headmaster doesn't seem bothered about the hell that this "teacher" put the students through for three years! :)

Good-O for sure.

Missing you!

Why dislikes?

Excellent... Thank you!

The wisdom from these old books is why I keep coming back. @ about 9:30: To tolerate a menacing personality means “you have the spirit of a perfect Christian or no spirit at all”. This is very deep. Whilst the outcome is the same; the tolerance of a menace or bully, the internal gears that produce this outcome are very psychologically and spiritually different - either one is a coward, or being blackmailed, or is a saint. Thus, with the same behavior exhibited on the outside, the internal struggles and thus the quality and quantity of suffering could not be more different for each case.

OMG

Helllllooooooo Greg! 🥳👏🏻 always a happy day when I see a new one by the great narrator himself! Any new digressions in the works? I thoroughly enjoy listening to you DIGRESS!

George Washington was in his 40s when Beethoven was born.Weird huh? Who would have known.

👍👍👍👍👍

Greg!?! Where are yoooouu?? x

One of the elements that I appreciate most about Doyle's tales is the human mystery - why does a person act/ speak/ respond/ interact in such a manner? There doesn't always have to be a mysterious clue or stolen item or a confounding death; psychology is the "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma".

I’m not sayin a word right now. 🧐

Wagland just precipitated an AMC Gremlin from a brainstorm over on Classic Breakdown.😏
