 Sherlock HolmesSherlock Holmes is a perennial favorite, and the audio format offers a vast number of listening choices, with new releases appearing regularly. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original stories are available in unabridged collections from several audio publishers. Adaptations of the stories are also plentiful--from the radio broadcasts of the 1940s to more restrained versions of the popular stories. Whatever the listener’s preference, Sherlock Holmes is a natural audio adventure. |
