The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrated by Simon Hester

Dr John Watson continues the chronicles of his friend Sherlock Holmes with a series of memoirs which give us further insight into the enigmatic Master Detective.

In "The Yellow Face" we see Holmes, by his own adimission, drawing the wrong conclusion from this moving and unique case. There is a touch of the macabre in "The Resident Patient" and a touch of the comic in "Silver Blaze" one of Conan Doyle's most intriguing twists.

The collection ends with Watson in sombre mood as he recounts the final encounter between Holmes and his ultimate foe Professor Moriaty.

Simon Hester narrates with a compelling style a real sense of the period, and also provides original music for this exciting Head Stories production.
