Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish doctor and author, celebrated for his world-famous creation Sherlock Holmes, the consulting detective who set the standard for crime fiction into the 20th century and beyond. In addition to his Holmes stories, Conan Doyle is also remembered for his fantasy and science fiction novels and stories, including 'The Parasite' and 'The Lost World' series of novels, his historical fiction, and for numerous short stories contributed to magazines over a 40 year period.

'The Parasite' was originally published in four parts, in the London periodical 'Harper's Weekly', between 10 November and 1 December 1894, and as a single volume by the publishers A. Constable & Co. in the same year.

All 12 of the original 'Round the Fire' stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, narrated by Simon Stanhope, are now available on Audible and iTunes.

A good narrator makes a book. A bad narrator kills it. This narrator does a superlative job. A real pleasure.

This is great stuff!🙂👍 And the top commenter is quite right: this narrator MAKES this story - as well as, of course, the great storytelling skills of the original author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! 🙂👍

A great story, superbly-read. The poor chap's mishaps while lecturing made me, as a lecturer myself, wince!

Excellent, really appreciate your time and effort you put in your oratory, your voice carries the books well in this modern age when English is not spoken correctly, and it's a Great big help with myself learning to read at 44, I've always been ashamed of my dyslexia, but you have helped me read again, thanks, keep the Norfolk ghosts stories coming, !!

I like the false hope where he thinks he is safe for a few nights. Of course the protagonist has no idea how far they've still got to go while we can see there's still time to run. Then the mounting urgency and panic when he does get the draw on him to go to her. Very well read; you made that story really exciting.

Simon's narration skills bring this oddly feverish tale to life---with all the urgency Conan Doyle wrote into it. Many thanks!

Tour de force is a theatrical cliche, but you reading/performance sir fully deserves that epithet.Thank you sincerely.
