Description
Alpha Edition The Hound of Baskerville (World Classics Unabridged) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Hound of the Baskervilles gripped readers when it was first serialised and has continued to hold its place in the popular imagination to this day. Could the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville have been caused by the gigantic ghostly hound that is said to have haunted his family for generations? Archrationalist Sherlock Holmes characteristically dismisses the theory as nonsense. And immersed in another case he sends Dr Watson to Devon to protect the Baskerville heir and observe the suspects at close hand. With its atmospheric setting on the ancient wild moorland and its savage apparition The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the greatest crime novels ever written. Rationalism is pitted against the supernatural and good against evil as Sherlock Holmes sets out to defeat a foe almost his equal.show more
