The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through
millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare,
Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the
traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus,
marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos,
weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on
the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish
parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt
and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a
man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a
wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An
incredible adventure is about to begin!

practitioners of the short story and considered to be the inventor of the
detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging
genre of science fiction.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if
he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he
doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of
his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for
a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of
miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, a man whose magic powers and lifelong training
have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no
ordinary killer: he hunts the vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the
innocent. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil; not everything fair is
good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal
underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn
together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American
Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling
tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.

CRITIC REVIEWS
"The pairing of Fry and Holmes is a bit of a marriage made in heaven...." (New
York Times)
"[Fry] gets into character with his habitual genius..." (The Times)
"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)
"If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, Stephen Fry, or the simple pleasure of the
audiobook, today's your lucky day. Audible have unveiled a brand new reading of
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's entire Sherlock Holmes catalogue, all performed by
Fry's dulcet tones." (Evening Standard)
"If you've ever listened to the Harry Potter audiobooks, you'll know that
Stephen Fry is responsible for the cosy and eternally reassuring voice that
plays out during the recording of J.K Rowling's iconic books. Now, he's turned
his talents to a brand new reading of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's entire Sherlock
Holmes catalogue - and the thought of it has already got us clambering to pull
up a comfy armchair in front of a roaring fire." (Metro)
"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 CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE NEVER READ THIS BEFORE!
Of course I've heard of Sherlock Holmes and even caught a glimpse of his stories
retold on film but I've never read the books. How wonderful to hear them for the
first time read by Stephen Fry. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this
reading.

HOW CAN YOU SELL THIS MESS!!
As others have complained chapters are not in order and some sttories are not
finished! And audible is selling this CRAP for 80 dollars! You crazy? SHAME on
you! Critics are all positive, it look like NOONE of them listen to this mess.
Im very disapointed about this. narrator and story are perfect but that doesnt
matter when chapters are not in order and some stories are unfinished.

MAGIC ...
Stephen Fry is a magical actor!! His performance captivating and never fails to
keep you smiling. These fantastic 72 hours kept me engaged and excited for over
800kms of running and walking. Finishing the performance was like saying goodbye
to a friend. Mr Fry has handed his great love for Sherlock onto myself and from
me to my son. Thankyou.
The only problem with his performance is that it makes all others sound
amateurish, monotone, and pretty boring... again thanks Mr Fry :-)
Yes do yourself a favour, use a credit, and get the best value performance on
audible - even if you don't think Sherlock is your thing - its just elementary!

"COME, WATSON, COME!" HE CRIED. THE GAME IS AFOOT
Unfamiliar with the Holmes stories as written, this narration was an excellent
introduction. With a 2 hour round trip each day, Holmes and Watson made the
commute thoroughly enjoyable and after 70 hours together I am sad to see my
friends go. I love Stephen Fry and distinguished between the characters with
ease, however for people listening in shorter bursts or not familiar with Fry,
they may have some difficulties distinguishing between different characters.
Some of the initial stories were also a little confusing switching times and
continents without introduction.

GREAT STORIES BUT SPLIT STRANGELY
I love all of these Sherlock Holmes stories. there is not perfect continuity but
very entertaining.
However, the way Audible split them into chapters and books is so bizarre. Some
stories were stopped mid sentence to change books, but could have been clearly
split by the narrative portions provided by Stephen Fry (who was awesome)

EXCELLENT
The only drawback lies in the navigation, Instead of each file being labelled
I’m resigned to checking the key to find out which is which. Possibly this is an
audible app issue, but if not it needs addressing so as to assist in navigating
the multitude of stories, chapters and books.
Fry’s performance, for want of a better word, is of course magnificent.

EXCELLENT PRODUCTION
Previously bought Charlton Griffiths production of Sherlock Holmes.
Bought this one as I would like to listen to Stephen Fry’s narration.
Did an excellent job of pronunciation, characterisation including excellent
Australian, South African and German accents.
The female voices were believable and added to the story.
Particularly liked the tone and inflection of the narration which fit with the
speech. Eg Sherlock chuckled resulted in the passage being read with a chuckle.
Things which could have been added that I enjoyed Charlton Griffiths production
were certain sound effects. Eg the gunshots during the narration of the killing
of the despicable blackmailer Augustus Milverton.
Other than that very minor point would highly recommend to anybody wanting to
transport themselves to a different age as I found it highly immersive.
I now press play to hear it again.

The stories are magical. The performance is splendid. One of my best listening

his partner in a way that you think you're in the opposite chair.

OUTSTANDING!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this to anyone without hesitation.
What about Stephen Fry’s performance did you like?
Stephen Fry is truly a treasure. His style and technique are simply perfect. He
is clear and his tone is steady and consistent. His voice characterizations are
realistic and do not, in any way, irritate me like so many other readers.
Additionally, Mr. Fry provides commentary at the start of each section. His
comments are humorous and intelligent. I can't think of anyone else of this
calibre. It is so easy to see that this is truly a work of love for Mr. Fry.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It is impossible to listen to 71 hours in one sitting!
Any additional comments?
I have read the original stories many times. I also have many variations of
Sherlock Homes, either radio productions or voiced reading. By far and above,
this is absolutely the finest collection and reading made. For anyone who wants
a "definitive" version which will be their "go to" version, this is it. Hands
down. I will be listening to this collection for many years.

TECHNICAL ISSUES
What disappointed you about Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection?
After Chapter 40, it is impossible to choose any of the next 60 or so chapters
at random. The default selection is chapter 40. Don't try rewinding either after
Chapter 40. Love Stephen Frye. Hate the quality of the audiobook. I want my
money back.

A GEM TO TAKE IN DOSES
Just shy of 72 hours, this is not a “book” (it is a collection of books) to
listen to continuously. Sherlock Holmes stories can become a bit boilerplate, so
it is good to listen to some, and then it it aside for a while, though many
times when you think you figured it out, you missed something. But every one is
delightful in itself, and I recommend that you definitely add this to your
library, and then listen to a few stories at a time, especially when you need a
break from whatever might be getting you down. You couldn’t get a better deal
(and I think I got it on some sale), penny per amount of pleasurable listening.
Stephen Fry is magical. In the introduction he tells us that he is a big fan,
and you can hear the enchantment in his superlative rendition. (Even his
American accent is not bad!) I felt truly privileged to listen to him read to
me.
I would not be responsible, though, if I did not express my usual dismay at the
bits of racism and anti-Semitic tropes found here and there in these stories. It
is no surprise - it is pretty standard for literature of the time, but I
squirmed when a particular thug, who happened to be black (why am I told this at
all? Why the dialect?) was described as a savage, or his hair as wooly. We read
of a “Jew peddler” and other such tropes, and, in the very last story, The Case
of Shoscombe Old Place, we repeatedly hear about “the Jews”, when the intent is
creditors. In fact, Sir Robert - a bad guy in deep debt - says that his “chief
creditor” is Sam Brewer, which doesn’t sound like a Jewish name at all. But even
if he is Jewish, Sir Robert is not “in the hands of the Jews”. He owes a lot of
money to Sam Brewer. Like much other literature that is otherwise worthy, my own
approach is that we should call it out, we should express our discomfort and
hopes that it is history and that readers today recognize these attitudes for
the bigotry that they were, but we can still enjoy the books. In the case of
this collection, these are definitely minor warts (unlike, for example, Shylock
or Fagin). There are essays and articles that address Arthur Conan Doyle’s
attitudes to people who were not white and to Jews - they are worth looking at
to put a historical context on this problem.

A NARRATOR TO FIT THE STORY.
The immortality of the stories about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John
Watson speaks for themselves.
What makes this collection special is the narration of Stephen Fry. He makes the
characters come to life and gives them personality with his splendid
performance. A truly extraordinaire storyteller.
His forewords too are filled with passion for the Sherlock-saga, personal
anecdotes and information about the author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
I can only recommend this!

BRILLIANT AUDIO BOOK, SHAME ABOUT THE NAVIGATION.
Sherlock Holmes has deserved an audiobook of this standard for a long time.
Fry's narration is superb, his skills as an actor giving depth to all of the
different characters that crop up in Conan Doyle's work. It's just such a shame
that Audible don't seem to be able to divide the various books and parts that
make up this epic book in a sensible way. The first part, consisting of 21
chapters, contains all of A Study in Scarlet, but only half of The Sign of Four.
Why not just bundle both books into the first part, or have them in their own
separate parts? It makes navigation very confusing, and the lack of a viewable
guide in the audible app makes navigation extremely annoying. To find a
favourite story, you either have to adopt a tiring method of trial and error, or
look up the chapter divisions on the website. It's a shame that something so
avoidable has let down what will become the definitive narration of Conan
Doyle's masterpiece.
Update: Audible have created and sent out a brilliant chapter guide to accompany
this audition, so it is now much easier to navigate. Thank you audible.

Love Stephen Frys narration
Loved the books for 50 years
Very good marketing by Audible, I bought it immediately and listened to Mr Frys
introductions. He rightly points out that you can start anywhere but this isn't
quite the case with the audiobook version. Whilst there is a chapter list on the
website and on each download part the chapter numbers restart with each volume
so the chapter numbers don't correlate. Also chapter numbers don't assist in
finding a particular or favourite story. This is a terrible weakness for any
compilation so I'd request audible to give it some thought and come up with a
PDF file at leat to assist in. Avocation

What disappointed you about Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection?
This is an amazing work with a great performance from Stephen Fry - HOWEVER...
The chapter navigation is impossible to use - try scanning through 71+hours of
audio to find the beginning of the short stories....

DREADFUL ORGANIZATION OF STORIES
Is there anything you would change about this book?
There is no way to see the order of the books, no chapter headings, no named
books...it seems to be a start at the beginning and go all the way through..The
book is divided into 9 parts, fair enough...it's a lot to download at one time,
but the order is impossible to follow...for example Section 3, Chapter 3 was
Silver Blaze Chapter 13 is the adventure of the Naval Treaty Chapter 19 is
called Chapter 4 of Hound of the Baskervilles Chapter 7 of Hound of the
baskervilles is the first part of section 4....and so it goes on

NAVIGATION
The design for navigating many chapters and for bookmarking needs revision, it
is difficult to know where Titles as opposed to chapters begin, this becomes
significant in large works encompassing multiple books

NAVIGARTION, NAVIGATION, NAVIGATION, TERRIBLE
Any additional comments?
Excellent stories, brilliantly read. HOWEVER YOU CANNOT FIND YOUR WAY ROUND OVER
70 HOURS OF RECORDING. AUDIBLE YOU MUST SORT THIS. The whole production is
RUINED by poor navigation because it is IMPOSSIBLE to find any particular book
or short story unless you search the whole 70 hours of recording.

LAYOUT IS AN ISSUE
Any additional comments?
This would have been an undoubtable 5-star review. Sherlock Holmes read by
Stephen Fry - of course - 5 star! However it is very difficult to navigate to
individual books let alone stories and practically impossible on Alexa.

IRRITATING BEYOND BELIEF
I love this collection of stories. But the badly curated and non titled chapters
makes it so irritating to listen to. Sort it out Audible...

OVER 70 HOURS OF PURE BRILLIANCE.
Would you consider the audio edition of Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive
Collection to be better than the print version?
100%. Stephen Fry brings such love to the writings.
What other book might you compare Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection to,
and why?
No other
Which character – as performed by Stephen Fry – was your favourite?
The works. You cannot pick a winner here.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
If you are reading this you are already interested in the writings of SACD. Let
me tell you now, when you listen to this you will be truly blown away. The story
telling genius of Mr Fry excels anything you have heard before and he raises the
bar very high, very high indeed.I too like Stephen Fry enjoyed reading the
stories as a child, but this performance blew me away! Let me explain. I am a 47
year old who listens to audio books whilst travelling the length and breadth of
the UK with my job whilst driving. This reading was paused after the first 5
minutes of the introduction because I wanted to indulge on every word. From the
opening gambit the listener is drawn into Victorian London, you can almost taste
the vile stench of poverty and feel almost embarrassed about sitting in the
opulence of 221b Baker Street watching the unraveling of peoples lives. John
Watson takes you through the memoirs of the worlds greatest "consulting"
detective with such realism, the performance is immense. I won't write anymore
as I do not wish to be branded a reviewer for Amazon. Just take my word for it,
if you are a fan, or even a passing visitor to the world of Sherlock Holmes,
just buy it.

SURELY THE DEFINITIVE NARRATION..?
Would you listen to Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection again? Why?
Without a doubt. I've read the books and have another audio version of the
oeuvre, but Stephen Fry's narration is superb.
What does Stephen Fry bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had
only read the book?
His voice has the right timbre; it's mellifluous and just wonderful to listen
to. He's added a new dimension to stories I'm familiar with and can now hear
with a different voice to the one that comes through whilst reading.
Any additional comments?
As a child in the 1950's, Doyle was one of my favourite authors. I loved his
books which took me into different worlds. I was transfixed by Holmes who could
deduce from seemingly little. He taught me the value of quiet observation and
deduction. But aside from that, these are belting good stories which stand the
test of time. This edition, narrated by Fry is, to my mind, definitive. I'm only
part way through, but absolutely engrossed and I'll listen to these stories
again. Outstanding value.
