Recollections of Captain Wilkie by Arthur Conan Doyle (1895) Read by Greg Wagland.
Hi. Here's a tale I first read today in which we meet a character who seems like a curious hybrid of Watson and Holmes travelling in a railway compartment with a rather dodgy geezer. It's quite a jolly tale all in all.
Was that an Oscar Wilde quote I spotted, early doors?
I recorded this story on an sE dyna something or other at my desk and not in my studio. Sounds ok but not 10/10 and quickly mastered on the hoof. Excuses, excuses.
Enjoyed getting back to recording some Conan Doyle and hope to unearth a few similar gems over the next few weeks, unless of course the sunshine draws me into the 'outen world'.
As usual, this has been Greg Wagland, recording for Magpie Audio in my palatial home in the UK.
Cheers!

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1894) Full Audiobook 12 Adventures read by Greg Wagland

At last, all in one very long video, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Some people seem to prefer them to hunting round to find the individual tales. This is, of course, a compilation of stories already available on the site. The dozen adventures that comprise the The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes were first published individually in The Strand magazine but brought together and published as a collec...

Find out what the strange crime is and whether Mrs. Boulnois really is a floozy! Rather a good one, I think. But what do I know! Father Brown at his best! Discuss. Read by Greg Wagland for Magpie Audio © Magpie Audio 2023
The Pot of Caviare by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1908.
Переглядів 20 тис.7 місяців тому
This is a great story set at the time of the Boxer Rebellion in China. Conan Doyle later dramatised the story and presented it as a play in 1928. A group of characters including a French priest, a German commandant, a Scottish presbyterian minister and a British diplomat, among others, are under siege. Bullets and food are quickly running out. Will the relief column get to them in time? Will th...
The Salad of Colonel Cray from The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914) by G. K. Chesterton
Переглядів 30 тис.7 місяців тому
This is rather a fun one, I would say, although one man's fun is another man's poison so to speak. Anyway, a Colonel, a Major, a doctor and a ward plus the unassuming Father Brown make for an interesting cast of characters in a story which ends somewhat explosively, but not in a manner you might predict. Enough waffle. Please enjoy. If you have enjoyed this recording on a rather splendid Rode N...
The Green Flag by Arthur Conan Doyle. A story for our times?
Переглядів 13 тис.7 місяців тому
The desert. Two armies meet. There are discontented soldiers in the British Army. (In every army?) Which flag do they truly serve when push comes to shove? Find out in this ripping gripping yarn. This story was written over a century ago. Therefore the language and sentiments expressed in it may not conform to modern sensibilities and sensitivities. Read by Greg Wagland for Magpie Audio.
The Purple Wig from The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914) by G. K. Chesterton. Read by Greg Wagland.
Переглядів 15 тис.7 місяців тому
Another curious tale about Father Brown which digs into journalism as it was/is really practised, the family history of the Dukes of Exmoor, the ever present theme of disguise and disguises and the minor medical outcome of having a decanter bashed into the bonce. It's a weird one but some rather interesting moments: the usual curates egg. Because today I had numerous things to do and worry abou...

Here is another story from the 1914 collection of tales titled The Wisdom of Father Brown. It's an interesting tale of numismatists, shrimping in South Wales and rather strange pub in a mews in Fulham. Was it Fulham? Anyway, the lesson here may well be 'Don't be greedy and go on the rob!' There may be some other nuances that I have missed but I'm sure somebody will expand on them in the comment...
The Man in the Passage by G. K. Chesterton from The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914) Aston Element
Переглядів 18 тис.8 місяців тому
This is set in London in the heart of Theatreland. We're backstage, there are suitors, a leading lady and leading man, mirrors, make-up, cozzies and no doubt a few bottles of Rescue Remedy and a dresser! Settle back, listen to the orchestra tuning up in the pit and leave it to Father Brown to sort out any untoward happenings. Dark but funny in parts. All human life is here! It's read by me, Gre...

Here's another Father Brown story, with echoes of the Dreyfus affair. It's set in Paris with our old friend Flambeau putting in an appearance. It's rather profound - so perhaps someone could take the time to explain it to me! It's read, as usual, by me, Greg Wagland, for Magpie Audio. Recorded on an Aston Element, which is an interesting microphone which I snapped up recently for a very good pr...

The Absence of Mr Glass by G. K. Chesterton from The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914). Detective story
Переглядів 22 тис.8 місяців тому
This story was written for the collection The Wisdom of Father Brown, published in 1914, following the success of The Innocence of Father Brown. I rather like the writing and this story is quite fun but I'm a little surprised that GKC or his editor chose this as the opening tale for the new collection as the plot is perhaps just a trifle, er, how can I put it, thin / predictable. Not wanting to...

Startled to find myself reading an excerpt from The Final Problem on this Stephen Fry episode of This Cultural Life. Nice to be featured, however that came about. And the programme itself is worth a listen! Mobile Library vans were a marvellous thing! And Michael and Dulcie were very sweet! Cheers!
