One of these introductions sees Fry recount how, in many ways, Sherlock Holmes’ adventures actually acted as a precursor to the rise of the comics industry – and of the superheroes who now populate Marvel and DC.
To celebrate his currency, Audible has released Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection; Arthur Conan Doyle’s complete adventures of the famed detective, as narrated by lifelong fan Stephen Fry, including nine personal introductions exclusive to Audible.
Sherlock Holmes is the unfading literary icon – as beloved and as relevant as he was over 120 years ago.
Sherlock Homes: The Definitive Collection is available for £69.99, though Audible subscribers can pay for the entire set with just one download credit.
