The Audio Connection: Sherlock Holmes

In Sherlock Holmes: A Baker Street Dozen, Sir John Gielgud plays the part of Sherlock Holmes in "The Blue Carbuncle," "A Case of Identity," "Charles August Milverton," "The Dying Detective," "The Final Problem," "A Scandal in Bohemia," and six other stories. If you've never experienced the famous sleuth of Baker Street, these stories are a great introduction to Sherlock Holmes.

Objects as innocuous as a pair of a pince-nez, a misplaced stain on the carpet, a goose, or smashed sculptures--all become part of the solutions. With his trusty side-kick, Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes puzzles out even the most complex mysteries to uncover the villainy of Professor Moriarty or other second-rate scoundrels.
