Description
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson investigate a mysterious death on Dartmoor. Sir Charles Baskerville's sudden demise brings together the rational world and the supernatural, as they search for an explanation beyond the ancestral Curse of the Baskervilles. The novel explores competing worlds of science and superstition, colonial background and origins, and the role of landscape and folklore in shaping the story. A new edition of Conan Doyle's classic mystery, this book is part of a series of new editions of the Sherlock Holmes stories published in Oxford World's Classics. Darryl Jones's Introduction provides context for understanding the novel's themes and historical context.
