Tales For A Winter's Night
Tales for a Winter's Night brings together eight Arthur Conan Doyle mystery classics that originally appeared in the Strand between July 1898 and January 1899. When first gathered into one volume in 1908, the book was entitled Round the Fire Stories, since the author recommended that they be read ideally "round the fire" upon a winter's night.
According to Barzun & Taylor in A Catalogue of Crime, "As one reads The Man with the Watches, The Lost Special, The Jew's Breastplate, The Black Doctor and the rest, one marvels again at Doyle's natural gift of story-telling...The stories are worth reading even around a radiator." Other stories include "The Club-Footed Grocer," "The Sealed Room," "The Brazilian Cat," and "B.24."
So gather round the fire and listen to these tales as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have himself told them.

Will one of you be posting this in the Society Library?
I'm on vacation through the weekend, so I'd like to get this when i come back.
Thanks
I'll upload it Bob.
It was already divided into one mp3 for each story but I renamed the files to include the story title as well.
Hope you're enjoying the vacation.
These will be fun - thanks !
Great sequence, Riklaa - William Sutherland has the requisite blustery tones of Doyle himself.

No, that would be Jake typed badly. :-P
Are you sure?
Having never MET Jake (or Jane), no, not absolutely. But I'm still pretty sure it was a typo on my part. :-)
