Good morning Greg! I was saving this new story for this very moment. So here I am at 5:30 am still trying to sleep. Thanks for this and ANY recordings you make for us. 💛
Funny and strange story. I finally finished listening after 6 times of listening to it ( and falling asleep all the time, yoohooo! ...because of Greg's soothing voice). My favorite voice to listen to, at night. Skilled reader/actor is Mr. Greg Wagland. 5 Stars 🌟!
Wonderfully read as ever - thanks Greg. I loved Father Brown's "explanation" at the end - how much more obtuse could he have got?! Oh, I'd love to hear him have a go at explaining transubstantiation.... Ha!
Transubstantiation ? As Julian Clary once said“try saying that with a Saveloy in your mouth“ l found this completely baffling after four goes l,ve still no idea. I,ll have to try again.
I will still have to re-listen to/reread this one. There is so much here. As always, it was brilliantly and entertainingly read, with the full force of Chesterton's pleasant English humor and poetry brought out in your tone. I actually came home from my job at as a barista, so if you ever want a coffee, know that I am skilled with caffeine-related art forms... of course, you'd have to come to America first... come to think of it, now I am curious how English coffee is compared to here. Coffee aside, you read this brilliantly, my good man.
Sometimes I find GKC impenetrable. I suppose he was a philosopher. Yet others of his stories are quite straightforward. The first one, Paradise of Thieves, I didn’t get at all. This one is about right for me. It’s a challenge, but I get it. And I do love some of his language (though sometimes there is too much of it). “The chestnuts shattered the sunlight” “The sunlight entangled in the trees” I also love your little personal comments at the end. First blackbird singing at 05.15 and I am cooking red cabbage while embarking on the next tale.
You are still my very favorite narrator contributing to those of us hungry for writing with a variety of language & mystery that does not gore the ear drums, or abuse the listener by yanking their immersion in a story with vulgar advertising. I wish I could equate the generosity, but am left to leaving comments & thumbs up for all your decidedly fantastic & professional productions. With deep respect & priceless blessings to you❣️📚🪭🪄🎁
Hey, Mr W! I will listen to this shortly, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me track down a particular 19th c short story. It was written by a well known author, possibly French, and it might have been a radio play adaption I listened to. The story is of a gentleman who knows his wife is cheating. She swears on a Bible that she's faithful, while the whole time the lover is hiding in the closet. The husband knows this, and so instructs the servants to brick up the closet. If anyone can put a name to this, I'd be absolutely over the moon.
That sounds like 'La Grande Bretèche' by Honoré Balzac. I remember it from the collection 'Tellers of Tales,' edited by Somerset Maugham. There have been several English-language radio adaptations, including one from the 1940s by 'The Weird Circle.'
This is an old classic story by de Maupassant I think, but Escape did the radio play. There might be a Brit one as well. The lover is a prisoner of war staying in the town & swims a river to get to the house. All the Escapes are worth hearing. Best of luck.
@@lesterbrandt3203 I shall certainly go through the Escape plays, even though I now have the story I was looking for - thank you for your recommendations ❤
Another beautiful reading. I don’t actually like the Father Brown stories as a rule but when you narrate them they suddenly make sense. That’s talent.
Thank you!
STILL one of the best narrators I have EVER encountered (listened to)
Thank you for your comment! Much appreciated!

Thank you for the new story! Very clever with the pondering of the duality of nature in a duel story.
Glad you enjoyed it, Shoshana!
Greetings Greg. I hope you're well. Thanks again. ❤
Another awesome performance, bravo.
Thank you sir for another fine addition!

Paradise of thieves I did get, or at least think so. This one I did not get.
Magnifique! Magnifique! Magnifique
Hmm....a strange tale and quite creepy at the end. Well narrated.
Thank you Mr W ❤
An odd story w/ some humorous bits ... must re~listen Thank You *Greg*
Yes, a smattering. Although a relisten? Are you sure?
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Yeppers a re~listen
Hey Greg, how you be? I hope you are well.
TYSM for sharing. Bizarre but worth it.
Take care ❤

Cheers Evelan. Many thanks - and much appreciated.
Thank you, Greg!
My pleasure!
Great reading Greg is very good. I wish he would audiobook a Geneva or KJV or at least an ESV ! It would be well received!
Greg on a Geneva audiobook. He should not do anything other the Geneva fits him perfectly. Just a thought 😊 not Sherlock Holmes,but close.😊
1 book at a time of course.he could start with ...........? I guess it would be up to him😊
Well done
Thank you, Coelett B
*Spoiler Alert* Colorful *veggie* descriptions *forked radish of a fellow* & *old carrots* 🤣the entire tale TS 12:17
