Librivox Update - HOUN, SIGN, The Lost World and more...
Fit me for a dunce cap I've done it again. While searching Librivox for Holmsian goodies I stupidly searched just for dear old Sherlock and not ACD. If I'd been half as clever as I'd like my children to think I am I would have noted that in addition to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Collection Librivox's tireless volunteers had also recorded both The Sign of Four and The Hound of the Baskervilles . A couple of short stories can also be found in short story collections. ( The Dying Detective , The Speckled Band and The Dying Detective again) Fan's of Conan Doyle's other works will be pleased to find The Lost World , The Parasite and The Japanned Box also ready to be downloaded. Still in the recording phase are A Study in Scarlet and Tales of Terror and Mystery .
Sherlock Holmes at Librivox
Librivox , the free user created public domain audio books folks, have one set of Holmes stories complete and available for download and two more in the pipeline. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is now online. Each story is read by a different Librivox member, and while the quality varies a bit the good will and volunteer spirit behind the project more than makes up for it. In the works are Memoirs ( get a sneak preview here ) and Return ( progress report here )
