The famous
Sherlock
Holmes
detective
stories
appeared
on radio
for more
than 25
years,
with a
long list
of
performers
playing
the parts
of Holmes
and Dr
Watson.
They
stories
were
written by
Edith
Meiser, a
self-confessed
Holmes
addict. At
first she
used
Arthur
Conan
Doyles’
original
stories,
but, after
the series
outlived
the
original
material,
she
created
her own
new
stories.
These were
so well
written
that she
was warmly
praised by
Arthur
Conan
Doyle’s
widow and
son.
