The Adventures of the Speckled Band
LillyB
First I'd like to thank the reader for taking me on such an excellent adventure. I've been a fan of Sherlock Holmes for as long as I can remember..... As a little girl, I can remember watching the old black and white films made in the thirties and forties and being completely mezmorized . Listening to the Adventures of the Speckled Band gave me that same mezmorized feeling.?? Blessings and love, LillyB
Speckled Band and Masterpiece Mystrry

The current Sherlock series, with Benedict Cumberbatch, is making a bit of a hit. Tonight PBS had a ~5 minute feature of the the show's Twp producers (one of whomplays brother Mycroft). They were commenting on how entertaining the stories could be, even when, "like The Speckled Band, they didn't make any sense." Okay? Narrator puts nice expressiveness into his reading. Sometime I might fuss about my wish for better preparation to pronounce just a couple words.
