Soon Holmes and Watson are faced with a macabre phenomenon—an eighteenth-century legend of a spectral hound, returning once more to terrorize 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. The Baker Street Classics Sherlock Holmes collection is a retro-inspired full set of Arthur Conan Doyle’s wonderful tales of the inimitable ‘consulting detective’ at work. Featuring original cover illustrations from editions of the 1920s, this collection will adorn any book-lover’s shelf and transport the reader back in time to Holmes’s bustling Victorian London, the misty moors of Dartmoor, the dizzying heights of Reichenbach and the cosy living room of 221B Baker Street.
