ABOUT THE BOOK
Max Carrados, a fictional detective series, was first introduced to the literary world by Ernest Bramah in 1914. In the Edwardian era, Carrados' stories often outsold Sherlock Holmes, with the blind detective sharing top billing with his fictional rival.
George Orwell wrote that together with those of Conan Doyle, they were "the only detective stories since Poe that are worth rereading".
Recorded by national treasure Stephen Fry, 'The Coin of Dionysius' and 'The Game Played in the Dark' are two short stories from the collection.
In 'The Coin of Dionysius' we first meet the suave sleuth Max Carrados, as he is called on by old friend Louis Carlyle to help determine whether an old coin is real or a clever fake.
In 'The Game Played in the Dark', Max Carrados is contacted by the British Museum about a horde of stolen ancient coins. On the lookout for the coins, he is intrigued by the approach of an Italian lady who takes him from the safety of his study to a meeting with some recognisable former adversaries....


ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bramah was a reclusive soul, who shared few details of his private life with his reading public. His full name was Ernest Bramah Smith. It is known that he dropped out of Manchester Grammar School at the age of 16, after displaying poor aptitude as a student and thereafter went into farming, and began writing vignettes for the local newspaper. Bramah's father was a wealthy man who rose from factory hand to a very wealthy man in a short time, and who supported his son in his various career attempts.
Bramah went to Fleet Street after the farming failure and became a secretary to Jerome K. Jerome, rising to a position as editor of one of Jerome's magazines. At some point, he appears to have married Mattie.
More importantly, after being rejected by 8 publishers, the Wallet of Kai Lung was published in 1900, and to date, remains in print. Bramah wrote in different areas, including political science fiction, and mystery. He passed away at the age of 74.


ABOUT THE READER
Stephen John Fry was born in 24 August 1957 and is an English actor, screenwriter, author, playwright, journalist, poet, comedian, television and radio presenter and film director.
He went to numerous schools before he arrived at Queens’ College, Cambridge. At Cambridge he met Hugh Laurie, so beginning an enduring creative partnership. He also trod the boards with the likes of Emma Thompson and Tony Slattery in the Footlights, performing in over 30 plays and even finding time to write his own – “Latin!” – which toured the country and won an award.
Pleasingly for an actor, critical acclaim was followed by popular appeal with the move to television. Memorable outings for the Fry comic juggernaut included Blackadder, A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster. Add to this a few big screen outings such as Wilde, Gosford Park, Peter’s Friends and (errm) Spiceworld and you’ve got the makings of a well rounded career.
“The Liar” fired the first fusillade as an original novelist. Followed by “Paperweight”, “The Hippopotamus” and “Making History”, Stephen’s autobiography “Moab is My Washpot” hit the shelves in 1997, the same year as what many people assumed to be his quasi-autobiography, “Wilde”. His latest work “The Stars’ Tennis Balls” was published in 2000. Stephen’s next book “A Peruvian Diary”, details with his endeavours to save the ‘spectacled bear’ from extinction.
Stephen also is also an outstanding narrator of audiobooks including the Harry Potter Collection.
