Description

It’s elementary that any Conan Doyle fan will want this splendid set of Sherlock Holmes mysteries—twelve timeless classics performed as radio theater, linked by violin music interludes.

The great Sir John Gielgud stars as the sleuth of Baker Street, with Ralph Richardson as his venerable companion, Dr. Watson, and Orson Welles as the nefarious Professor Moriarty. With three giants of the theater in such colorful roles, it’s no mystery why this collection is so popular.

    • About the Author

    SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE was born in Edinburgh in 1859. Hoping to augment his income as an eye specialist, he wrote his first story feature the detective Sherlock Holmes. Fifty-nine more adventures followed. Once, wearying of Holmes, his creator killed him off, but was forced by popular demand to resurrect him. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in Sussex in 1930.

    Praise for Sherlock Holmes: A Baker Street Dozen

    It will come as no surprise that Gielgud and Richardson, as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, are as perfect a pairing as are the fictional detective team.

    “The cast is perfection: just to listen to John Gielgud would be pleasure enough, but each cast member is terrific.”
