Good compilation of some of Conan Doyle's works. I decided to revisit the stories of my favorite detective when I was growing up and this was a good place to start. I find I enjoy the stories now as much as I did then. Now, I can add to the enjoyment with the old videos of the stories on you tube.

I enjoyed this collection, it took me back to hearing the originals in the 50s & 60s.
