    Really helps me sleep at night - so much so it usually takes about 6 attempts to actually get to the end to hear the outcome. Exquisite elocution and delivery x

    I like the way you read, without trying to be overly dramatic or mysterious, you don't try to 'do the audiences job for them'.

    I love how you can just listen to this, instead of finding the books for a start. Then read it to yourself without going to dreamland... I mean listening to this is FREE! Who would dislike this channel?! Everyone who finds this should think, “Wow, I Really Have Struck Gold Here.”

    GREAT - all these stories are not readily available - really enjoy them and having the stories on audio is great so that they can be heard anytime - the reader is excellent - thank you for all of these gifts - also love all the older authors - most people would not have access to these books otherwise

    I listen to my yelling wife,
    I listen to my yelling wife,
    I listen to horrible news,
    I listen to the coaxing of silent auctions
    From hell,
    I listen to the cooing of the birds,
    I listen to these.

    • @jamiecartright
      @jamiecartright Před 2 lety +6

      It’s where King David assaulted Bathsheba and had her husband Uriah (one of his best soldiers) killed in battle. The story is told in the 11th and 12th chapters of Second Samuel. You can Google them; since the whole story won’t fit in the comment box.

    What you are doing is legendary. If u read a story in one video, can u do like an explanation in the following video of the same story?? That would be helpful and a lot of my friends want that too. We would all appreciate it. This I believe will help your channel out too.

    Lovely narration again, and a merciful lack, for the most part, of ACD's casual racisim, chauvanism and gender bias that mar many of these otherwise excellent stories for the modern ear. They, like we, are a product of their times, so allowances must be made.

      Yeah true enough, though Victorian England has to be forgiven some of the faults which it had, considering that the time allowed child labour and enormous cruelty in general- I have to say, I was impressed by the conclusion of the yellow face- a way ahead of its time imo, really pleasant, I was worried near the end that it would've been different- I think that ACD sometimes expressed rather elegant and correct ideas, in a way that a deeply bigoted county could understand.
