About this listen
Nero Wolfe, featured in 46 novels, movies, and television series, first came to radio on April 7, 1943. The great character actor Sydney Greenstreet played him from 1950-51. Wolfe, the "gargantuan gourmet", solved crimes with an attention to detail that rivaled the great Sherlock Holmes. The overweight detective of Rex Stout's novels refused to leave his elegant brownstone on business, sending his wisecracking, two-fisted assistant, Archie Goodwin, out to do his legwork. This peculiar private investigator preferred tending to his beloved orchids over solving crimes. In fact, the only reason he worked at all was to keep up his lavish lifestyle.

What made the experience of listening to The Shakespeare Folio the most enjoyable?
The cast is spot-on, crystal clear audio with sound effects. It's an excellent performance all around. That this is a radio performance is impressive. Very enjoyable.What other book might you compare The Shakespeare Folio to and why?
Any of the Nero Wolfe books, the tone reminds me immediately of the books.Which character – as performed by uncredited – was your favorite?
Archie Goodwin - the actor captures him perfectly.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. These are only half an hour so are perfect for the car.Any additional comments?
This really is a glimpse into the past - the recording even has the original radio ads about hand cream!Absolutely charming!

What made the experience of listening to The Shakespeare Folio the most enjoyable?
This goes for all of the Nero Wolf mysteries tha I downloaded and listened to. I have been a fan of Rex Stout and Nero Wolf since I was in my teens and here I am in my late 60's still enjoying them. Wonderful presentations by great actors! Sydney Greenstreet is awesome as Nero though at times it is difficult to understand him because of his very singular voice.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Shakespeare Folio?
The most memorable thing about ALL of the Nero Wolf mysteries is of course the interaction between Archie and Wolf. It is what makes the stories special.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Very few of the storyies make you cry but all of them have moments that make you laugh! What else can you do with the way the primary characters react with each other.If you love Stout and Nero ya gotta give a listen!
