Description
The Hound of the Baskervilles is a chilling tale of mystery and horror. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the wild Devon moorland, the blame is placed on a family curse and the footprints of a giant hound. It is left to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to solve the mystery of the legend of the phantom hound before Sir Charles' heir comes to an equally gruesome end. As the story unfolds, rationalism is pitted against the supernatural, and the detective must use his powers of observation to uncover the truth. The Hound of the Baskervilles has gripped readers for generations, and its place in the popular imagination remains strong. This edition is part of the Penguin English Library, a collection of 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the First World War.
