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.
Free with Audible + and highly recommended

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.
