"...it was reading the Sherlock Holmes stories as a boy that first turned me on to the power of writing and storytelling." (Stephen Fry)

Ever since he made his first appearance in A Study In Scarlet, Sherlock Holmes has enthralled and delighted millions of fans throughout the world. Now Audible is proud to present Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection, read by Stephen Fry. A lifelong fan of Doyle's detective fiction, Fry has narrated the complete works of Sherlock Holmes - four novels and five collections of short stories. And, exclusively for Audible, Stephen has written and narrated nine insightful, intimate and deeply personal introductions to each title.

Stephen Fry is an English actor, screenwriter, author, playwright, journalist, comedian, television presenter, film director and all round national treasure. He is the acclaimed narrator of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter audiobooks and most recently recorded The Tales of Max Carrados for Audible Studios. Stephen has contributed columns and articles to newspapers and magazines, appears frequently on radio and has written four novels and three volumes of autobiography.

Mister G

Excellent narration - awful navigation.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2017

Everything that Stephen Fry reads, comes alive. I love and collect Sherlock Holmes books. The problem is that navigation is difficult as the books are spread across multiple files.
I split and concatenated each story into its own MP3 file to make playing easier. using ffmpeg a free tool. Why Audible couldn't do this is beyond me. If allowed I'll post the cue/cutting sheet.

Even better than you imagine it is.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2017

I didn't think I was ever going to buy anything from the Holmes canon again. I already have it in so many formats: tatty paperbacks from years ago, free kindle books on my iPhone, the massive annotated tomes by Leslie Klinger, even the Adventures audio as read by the splendid Derek Jacobi, not to mention the Brett and Rathbones DVDs.

But this version proved too tempting and I went for it. I'm glad I did, Stephen Fry does an amazing job as you'd expect but his voice, not so pure as it once was can now deliver characterisations that are lower and more gravely, perfect for the likes of Jefferson Hope or Jonathan Small. He does a great job with different characterisations and accents and even avoids that common "falsetto" trap for male narrators when attempting to provide a female characters voice.

Each novel or collection comes with a introduction written and read by Stephen and my only complaint here is that I could have stood them being longer.

If this is the last time that I buy the Holmes canon, then I'm glad it was for such a strong version.

Wonderful version from a master narrator...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2017

Stephen Fry has a wonderful voice for audiobooks. His narration is spot on and his extra introductions to stories, building on his own experiences of reading these stories in his younger years, really adds to the overall experience.

I received this free with an Audible offer, and along with a few other books, can say I am now a happy member of the Audible family with a fully paid subscription.

I genuinely prefer reading books, but the audible versions of the books I have heard so far are wonderful, and great for carrying on in the shower, car, etc. Whispersync just works, which is immensely satisfying.

Oh what will I do when I finish this audio book. I have spent many happy hours working, driving, gardening, cleaning, dog walking listening to Stephen Fry reading the Sherlock Holmes collection. I quite often have to remind myself it is Stephen Fry as his interpretation of the characters voices is so good.

Navigation in the audible app is not very good listing things like part 3 chapter 12 is not very helpful for cross referencing with the book.
That is an observation on the Audible app rather than the narration. The narration is excellent
