About the book

The Hound of the Baskervilles, one of the best known of the Sherlock Holmes novels, was written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1901. It was published as book in 1902. It was the first Sherlock Holmes tale since the detective’s rather shocking death in the story “The Final Problem” but was set prior to his demise. It must be noted that the popularity of The Hound of the Baskervilles was such that it helped pave the way for Holmes’s reappearance in later works. Based on a local legend of a spectral hound that haunted Dartmoor in Devonshire, England, it is set in the moors of Baskerville Hall, and the action takes place mostly at night, when the terrifying hound howls for blood. In this book, Arthur Conan Doyle, for the first time, truly emphasized the eerie setting and mysterious atmosphere rather than the hero’s deductive genius. One of the all-time classic mysteries, the novel was extremely popular as readers rejoiced at the return of Sherlock Holmes.
