The most talented storyteller I ever heard. I take my hat off. Thank you.

[@BadboyMonkeyman]

Try listening to a narrator name of Greg Wagland. He's a big fan of Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle and other historical fiction writer like Charles Dickens. I can't listen to anyone else who attempts to play Dr Watson and Mr Holmes and his Long John Silver made me listen to Treasure Island over and over

[@DK-yh4xt]

Agreed. Grateful more than I can say.

[@clintonbuckle8085]

Best audiobook ever. I wish bilbo had narrated more of my favourites.

[@sesgow]

Thank god for free audio books on TH-cam, I have to have this read in two days, and I had only been 20 minutes in

RIP Ian Holm. Master actor and - clearly - master storyteller too.

[@evansclan4eva49]

Probably the greatest novella ever. The prose is gorgeous.

[@SDayle]

Finally one audiobook that pronounce Jekyll the right way!

[@Gorboduc]

OG Jekyll.

[@willmfrank]

To quote Professor Christopher Frayling:
"...And Stevenson always insisted that the name be pronounced 'Jeek-ill,' partly because that's the way Scots people said it, and partly because it meant that 'Hyde and Jeek-ill' rhymed with 'hide and seek.' "
And Stevenson put that very pun into the mouth of Utterson: " 'If he be Mr. Hyde,' he had thought, 'I shall be Mr. Seek.' "

[@gracew7521]

So handy for GCSE revision. Thank you

[@sophiecolle4751]

I defenitly want to say thank you too Ian Holm, because he was the best narrator i have ever heard, although he will never read this. Rest in peace.

Wonderfully told by Ian Holme, the story gripped me from beginning to 15 minutes from the end. My iPad decided to reboot and I've been unable to receive the last 15 minutes. Infuriating! I know the story but have never been told it the wonderful way.

[@rtgredtruck3059]

1:14:14 And here is when you know this is the greatest storyteller of all time. 😂

[@vixtex]

No movie has ever done real justice to this novella.

[@scattygirl1]

I agree- films always introduce Jekyll far too early and with far too much detail. The tension in the book is created by him being a mystery until very close to the end. And although I weary of too few strong female characters in Victorian fiction in general, the compact number of characters in the book adds to its claustrophobic urgency; opening it out to include extra characters in the films breaks this intensity imo.

[@scattygirl1]

Plus no film version I've seen does justice to Utterson. He's the moral compass of the story and is responsible for tracking Hyde down. It's hard to make a quietly good & modest character interesting, but I think RLS managed it. I suppose much of what we learn about him is through his internal monolgue, which is hard to translate to the screen as a compelling character.

[@shawnritz]

Ok Last Christmas I gave u my Fart

[@shawnritz]

Which movie did the best

[@willmfrank]

@@shawnritz The 1980 television presentation with David Hemmings in the title role(s) takes as many liberties with the story as any of them, but it comes closer to Stevenson than any other in its depiction of the characters of Jekyll and Hyde. Jekyll is stout, almost portly, with balding blond hair and a mustache and muttonchops, and is quite obviously in his late middle age; Hyde is smaller (an effect achieved partly by having Hyde wear oversized replicas of Jekyll's costumes) and is clean-shaven with dark brown hair. The portrayal is unique in that prosthetic makeup is used to create the likeness of Jekyll, whereas all other adaptations employ prosthetics to create the likeness of Hyde.

Ian Holm as in Bilbo Baggins ? He’s a fantastic voice

[@elizabethdarley8646]

@@andytaylor6773 Yes! He is the late Sir Ian Holm (sic), a British actor who trained at RADA, London and is very famous in Great Britain. He is skilled in Shakespearean satge plays in front of live audiences, hence his high level of speech. Sadly, he died in June 2020.

[@peterchaloner2877]

Do not swear. Your swearing taints.

[@nunyanunya4147]

@@peterchaloner2877 keep your patronizing to your self i dont give a shit about your morals or your taint

[@SDayle]

I know, right? I was starting to lose hope.
I just can't accept that hideous "Jackal" pronounciation. Stevenson cared about these things to the point that he even changed the spelling of his own name from "Lewis" to "Louis", just so people would pronounce his name correctly.
The ONLY bit that is incorrect in this audiobook is the "The" at the very beginning, since the lack of the article in the title of the book contributes to the strangeness of the case. But, really, this is a perfect product through and through and it's the audiobook that should be used everywhere.

[@bonkersfr]

prelim tomorrow and im listening to this for the 10th time

[@troyperez2908]

I’m listening to this cause I wanna know the art of duality .

[@paddymeboy]

Great reading but it's very off-putting that he pronounces it 'Jee-kill'.

[@SDayle]

This is the RIGHT pronounciation.
All the other ones are wrong and a fruit of the disgusting, money-driven manipulations that Metro-Goldwin-Mayer did in 1941 to get their shitty remake of the Oscar-winning 1931 version to be watched by even one person.
