Histoire
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Labeled variously a realistic story of whaling, a romance of unusual adventure and eccentric characters, a symbolic allegory, and a drama of heroic conflict, Moby Dick is first and foremost a great story. It has both the humor and poignancy of a simple sea ballad, as well as the depth and universality of a grand odyssey.

An Elementary Purchase
... though Holmes never says once in the canon 'Elementary, my dear Watson', but I digress.
The Holmes stories are timeless, and thus easy to recommend to anyone; some of the novels may be a bit hard to get into for some- I'm thinking here of the lengthy backstory of the criminal included in the end of A Study in Scarlet particularly, though The Sign of Four and The Valley of Fear each in their turn also have lengthy, if more readable, backstories of their respective villains- but generally speaking, they're as interesting and readable now as they were when Conan Doyle wrote them. They're less a series of typical 'mysteries', but are more truly a series of 'adventures', as Watson puts it: there are plenty of conundrums to be sure and there is usually some problem posed to Holmes that he needs to solve, but they're not always of the 'whodunit' or 'howdunit' variety. In two stories he deals with threats of blackmail made to someone, another he attempts to stop a jaded woman from marrying a scoundrel, in several there's less investigation and more action, and then there are plenty of whimsical stories where merely something bizarre happens, and the whole of the story is spent in finding out the wherefore and why. Even by today's standards the stories never feel 'typical', mix things up a good deal, and are compulsively readable; they're not really 'mysterious' and tax your brain as you try to figure out a killer's identity as you would in a Christie novel, but the Holmes stories draw you in and seldom fail to engage and entertain. Thus I would recommend them to absolutely anyone and everyone, bar none.
As for whether a potential purchaser should buy this version of the Holmes canon with readings by Stephen Fry or the Simon Vance ones... well firstly, if you enjoy the Holmes stories already I'd genuinely recommend getting both, as they both have their strengths. If you're new to the stories however and just want to get into one version, here's my recommendation:
If you want an engaging, dramatic read, Fry's your man. He's got a real talent for putting emotion and personality into every character he reads, making them feel unique and distinct from another, and generally helping the characters leap off the page. This is especially nice, given that a majority of the time Watson is narrating the stories in 1st person, and thus the added inflection to his readings is wonderful.
If you want to ease into the stories however, and want to relax with them as you would a nice cup of tea, go with Simon Vance's readings. His harmonious voice draws you into the setting particularly, makes it come to life in your mind, and eases you into the story like you would ease into a cozy armchair. While I couldn't call the rest of the characters' readings more than passable compared to Fry, he does a great job with Holmes' and Watson particularly, which really is the important thing.
So yeah; go with Fry for flair, and Vance for a relaxing read. You can't go wrong with either :)

Stephen Fry's personal love for Sherlock Holmes comes through in his masterful reading of this collection. An absolute delight filled with well acted voices, regional dialects and accents. Don't be surprised it you start listening again from the beginning as soon as you reach the end.

Sherlock Holmes is excellent, but read by Stephen Fry makes it unbelievably awesome!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about everyone’s favorite fictional detective are amazing on their own. No dispute there.
However, these stories being given life by Stephen Fry’s breathtakingly amazing storytelling capabilities makes them an absolute must read (or listen, in this case).
Never have I ever been so immersed into stories as I was under Mr. Fry’s narration. There might as well have been an entire soundtrack of mood modifying music being his voice.
Absolute marvel is this collection of classics read by the eloquent Stephen Fry!
You will definitely be missing a masterpiece if you do not own Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection.

Excellent!
I absolutely love this! It is by far my favourite book I have listened to. Stephen Fry is a marvel narrator and gives the impression of different speakers without sounding distracting or taking away from the stories. I particularly enjoy the introductions to the different sections. It imparts a personal flavor to the Sherlock Holmes stories that I believe make them more enjoyable to hear from him. I have listened and relistened to this numerous times and I know I will enjoy hearing it again in the future.

What fun, and how wonderful Mr Fry’s performance
I can’t believe I listened to the whole 6 parts of the series in just a few weeks. Such great escapism. And I greatly enjoyed Mr Fry’s comments about Sir A. C. Doyle, and the circumstances in which he wrote these wonderful adventures. Sherlock Holmes is truly eternal.

Stephen Fry + Sherlock = awesome
This was one of the first audiobooks I have ever purchased and I was not disappointed. I got it originally for the simple reason that it is very long and I like Stephen Fry. It has transformed into my trusty fallback, my old faithful, something I can listen to in small pieces or huge swaths of time. I can't say enough good things about Stephen, his voice is pleasant, he seamlessly alters his voice for each character even if it's ever so slight. The stories themselves are wonderful and I enjoy the glimpses of life in the Victorian era. My favorite stories would probably be "the sign of four" or "the valley of fear".

Rough around old fashioned edges but fantastic
The time period these were written in can have some jarring differences from today, and the stories become very formulaic... However, I'd still argue these are well written, the stories are delightfully self contained, and even though I don't find them "edge of my seat" suspenseful, I find the suspense pleasant, stimulating, and enjoyable. The payoffs were worthwhile across the board, even if they weren't always satisfying (read: not always what you may have hoped for or wanted). Stephen Fry does a fairly great job of narrating these stories, and I have to admit his personifications of the various characters were typically distinct enough to not cause disorientation and gave the performances a lot of depth and "character".
As a personal preference, I wasn't crazy about his forewords, but other than that, I have very few complaints and many words of praise.
