The Red-Headed League — Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


Listen Later

A quiet reading of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Red-Headed League" by firelight, with soft rain and a low fireplace. Fall asleep to Sherlock Holmes.


A pawnbroker is paid handsomely to copy out an encyclopedia — then the absurd job suddenly ends, and Holmes sees what it was really hiding.


Narrator: calm British voice, ~60 minutes
