Description

"Fry's Holmes is crisp and high-handed, his Watson enthusiastic and bemused, and the rest of the narration colorful without being mannered. Have fun. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award." (AudioFile magazine)

"...it was reading the Sherlock Holmes stories as a boy that first turned me on to the power of writing and storytelling." (Stephen Fry)

Ever since he made his first appearance in A Study In Scarlet, Sherlock Holmes has enthralled millions of fans. Now Audible is proud to present Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, read by Stephen Fry. A lifelong fan of Doyle's detective fiction, Fry has narrated the complete works of Sherlock Holmes. And, exclusively for Audible, Stephen has written and narrated nine insightful and personal introductions to each title.

Fry is an English actor, screenwriter, author, playwright, journalist, comedian, film director and all round national treasure. He is the acclaimed narrator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and recently recorded The Tales of Max Carrados - which earned Fry the accolade of "quite irresistible" from the Washington Post.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The pairing of Fry and Holmes is a bit of a marriage made in heaven...In the Holmes books, he reads just under a thousand pages in his wonderfully even and infallibly intelligent voice, touching the characters deftly...[H]e finds a variety of accents and tones for the many foreigners Holmes encounters; his American accents are lightly done, without attempting, for example, a Utah accent in 'A Study in Scarlet'.... Fry's triumph is in striking and maintaining exactly the right tone for the narrations, all, with a handful of exceptions, in the comfortable, slightly pompous voice of Dr. James Watson, Boswell to the great man's Johnson. Fry's Holmes is sharp-witted and mercurial, though not especially idiosyncratic: quite right, as he is merely being reported by deal old Watson. But Fry's skill in phrasing and articulation over the whole 60-plus hours is beyond praise.... Every consonant in place, every phrase perfectly shaped and filled with sense. There are other complete recorded Holmeses...but none that sustains the course so buoyantly, and none with the added pleasure of the readers' pithy commentary on each book." (The New York Times Book Review)

"Sherlock Holmes. Narrated by Stephen Fry. Need I say more? Honestly though, what a perfect way to get away from it all while you're cooking dinner, commuting, or tidying up this weekend." (Buzzfeed)

"Having already narrated one of the world's best-selling book series in the form of Harry Potter, Stephen Fry has returned to the recording booth to take on another hugely popular series." (BBC)

"It doesn't get much more British than Stephen Fry talking about Sherlock." (Mashable)

"Sherlock Holmes is the unfading literary icon - as beloved and as relevant as he was over 120 years ago. To celebrate his currency, Audible has released Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection; Arthur Conan Doyle's complete adventures of the famed detective, as narrated by lifelong fan Stephen Fry, including nine personal introductions exclusive to Audible." (The Independent)

I like Sherlock Holmes but..

At some points the audio seems to have reverberation and it can get pretty annoying taking you out of the story. Tested it on multiple devices and new and old headphones and all have the same issue at the same parts.

Sheer bliss.

Stephen Fry's performance is an extraordinary achievement. He immerses you so fully, with cast after cast of complete characters, that you feel totally a part of the world of Holmes and Watson. He also demonstrates the excessive talent of the author, who conjours mood, character and plot so perfectly. It has been a decadent pleasure.

Wonderful Doyle/Holmes/Fry

Not having been an avid Sherlockian before, I must say that listening to this collection, although missing The Casebook stories my appreciation of Conan Doyle's opus is unbound. To top it off, the narration by Stephen Fry is suberp, awesome, impressive, grand, and second to none.

Something I’ve Looked Forward to...

For years I’ve wanted to dig into the entirety of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and his seemingly endless adventures. The series narrated by Stephen Fry is delightful- a real treat! #Audible1

Top Notch Fare

This collection proves that audiobooks can outdo the written page. Stephen Fry has an impressive variety of accents at his command, coupled with a perfect level of theatricality, and flawless reading of the text. At over 62 hours, this audiobook is a feast. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

Bravo!

Doyle can definitely write a great and clever story but Fry’s voice work really brings the work to life. His interpretation of the Holmes character brings out the warmth, mischief and kindness Doyle wrote into Holmes and many actors walked right past portraying him only as the emotionless reasoning machine who never chuckles, smiles, or twinkles his eyes!


Awesome.

PS Fry is also a master of English language accents! This comes out most vividly in The Valley of Fear!

Excellent

The voices , the pace, and commentary were all excellent and entertaining. The only minor mistake was a few times a word was edited in with a different microphone and the tone changed for the one word.

Everyone should listen.
