This is one of my favourite short stories and to have it read by Dr Watson himself is even better. Well worth 50 minutes of any Holmes fan's time.

A short (47 minutes) Sherlock Holmes story, magnificently read by Edward Hardwicke.
Holmes is handed a goose and a battered hat dropped early on Christmas morning by a man attacked by a gang of youths. Sherlock, with Watson, investigates.
Short, fun and nobody (except the goose) died.
