At Christmastime, Sherlock Holmes is tasked with returning a lost goose to its rightful owner, whose identity Holmes deduces from the hat he lost with the goose. The case gains a new urgency when the goose is discovered to hold a valuable secret. This is one of the more familiar Holmes stories since it’s often included in anthologies of Christmas mysteries. It’s a good entry point to the Holmes canon. Holmes gives a magical performance as he extracts a man from his hat! ( )

This Sherlock Holmes adventure was narrated by CGPGrey, as a Christmas gift to his viewers. It was a joy. The story is a good one, no matter how many times you hear it. ( )

Not a bad little story, but overall, wasn't that interesting to me. It was cleverly written (in classic Sherlock Holmes style), but this one just didn't capture me.

It did have a good Christmas feel though, which is timely. ( )

This is Conan Doyle's Christmas Sherlock Holmes story, about a lost jewel concealed within the crop of a Christmas goose. It's a good story that manages to combine Christmas humour with a serious backdrop of a man wrongly accused with the theft of the jewel. Not one of Conan Doyle's very best, but always comes up well.
