  • The adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Speckled Band (Story #8)
    Oct 19 2024

    Welcome to the eighth installment of this series. Description of the eighth adventure (taken from Wikipedia articles): It was originally published in Strand Magazine in February 1892. Holmes accepts a case for Helen Stoner, who worries that her stepfather may be trying to kill her after he contrives to move her to the bedroom where her sister had died two years earlier, shortly before her wedding. "The Speckled Band" is a classic locked-room mystery that deals with the themes of parental greed, inheritance and freedom. Tinged with Gothic elements, it is considered by many to be one of Doyle's finest works, with the author himself calling it his best story. The story, alongside the rest of the Sherlock Holmes canon, has become a defining part of detective fiction. It has been adapted for television, film, theatre, radio and a video game. It is part of the exhibit at the Sherlock Holmes Museum. The theatrical adaptation was written and produced by Doyle himself, directed by and starring Lyn Harding as Grimesby Roylott. The role of Holmes was played by H. A. Saintsbury. Doyle famously clashed with Harding over several details of the script, but later reconciled with him after the universal success of the play.

  • The adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Man with the Twisted Lip (Story #6 - Audiobook)
    Aug 24 2024

    Welcome to the sixth installment of this series.


    Description of the sixth story (taken from Wikipedia articles): The story was first published in the Strand Magazine in December 1891. Doyle ranked "The Man with the Twisted Lip" sixteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories. The case is about Neville St. Clair, a respectable businessman, who has disappeared.

Some believe that Doyle may have got the idea of a professional man making his money from begging from a short story by William Makepeace Thackeray called "Miss Shum's Husband" (1838).
