Originally recorded in 1971, Peter Cushings reading of The Return Of Sherlock Holmes finally appears on CD.

As such, they have become somewhat of a Holy Grail for Cushing fans and Holmes aficionados.

So, you might bet that he was the right man to narrate those stories.

Amazing that he was once asked to get elocution lessons.

In one case, he even seems to have taken a glimpse into the future and channelled Billy Connolly.

Sleeve notes are provided by notable Holmesian, David Stuart Davies.

All in all, this is an excellent audio collection, clocking in at close to four hours.

I am anxiously looking forward to seeing the remaining stories published by Cosmic Hobo in the near future.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes: 1 is out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
