The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The phantom dog of Dartmoor, which, according to an ancient legend, has haunted the Baskervilles for generations. When Sir Charles Baskerville dies suddenly of a heart attack on the grounds of the family's estate, the locals are convinced that the spectral hound is responsible, and Holmes is called in. Conan Doyle triumphed and triumphed deservedly, G. K. Chesterton wrote, because he took his art seriously, because he lavished a hundred little touches of real knowledge and genuine picturesqueness on the police novelette.Scottish writer and master storyteller SirArthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. As a medical student he was so impressed by his professor’s powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and much-loved figure Sherlock Holmes. However in contrast to his scientific background, Conan Doyle became increasingly interested in spiritualism, leaving him keen to explore other fantastical elements in stories such as The Lost World.
