When the owner of Baskerville Hall is found lifeless, his face
distorted with horror, it is the beginning of an unsettling
adventure that takes Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson from the bright,
gas lit thoroughfares of London into the dark remoteness of
Victorian Dartmoor. Soon Holmes and Watson are faced with a macabre
phenomenon - the eighteenth-century legend of a spectral hound,
returning once more to terrorise the Baskerville family. They can
do nothing for Sir Charles - but his heir, Sir Henry Baskerville,
is now in England asking for their help. And in protecting him,
Holmes and Watson must confront a more sinister threat than
anything they have encountered before. The Hound of the
Baskervilles is a powerful reminder of the continued influence of
myths and superstitions which lay beneath the scientific
rationalism of late Victorian England. Conan Doyle was fascinated
by the paranormal, and in this gripping story he demonstrates the
anxieties that can affect even the strongest minds when they
encounter the unknown.
