The Hound of the Baskervilles Summary
| Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before. It was a fine, thick piece of wood, bulbous-headed, of the sort which is known as a "Penang lawyer." Just under the head was a broad silver band nearly an inch across. |
|
|
| The most famous case of Sherlock Holmes. |
|
|
| Book 6 of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. The Baskervilles had a family legend-that of a hound from hell plaguing its members since the time of Hugo Baskerville. When Sir Charles Baskerville died three months ago, his friends and neighbours believed the Hound of the Baskervilles to be the cause of his death. Dr. Mortimer, a close friend of Sir Charles, engaged Sherlock Holmes to protect the new baronet, Sir Henry. Did Sherlock Holmes have to battle against diabolical supernatural forces this time to save his client, or was his client threatened by mere human agency? |

Book 6 of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. The Baskervilles had a family legend-that of a hound from hell plaguing its members since the time of Hugo Baskerville. When Sir Charles Baskerville died three months ago, his friends and neighbours believed the Hound of the Baskervilles to be the cause of his death. Dr. Mortimer, a close friend of Sir Charles, engaged Sherlock Holmes to protect the new baronet, Sir Henry. Did Sherlock Holmes have to battle against diabolical supernatural forces this time to save his client, or was his client threatened by mere human agency? |

| I confess at these words a shudder passed through me. There was a thrill in the doctor's voice which showed that he was himself deeply moved by that which he told us. Holmes leaned forward in his excitement and his eyes had the hard, dry glitter which shot from them when he was keenly interested. |

| "The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes." In this case, the hound is the obvious thing. But it is not supernatural nor devilish nor vengeful. Instead of indicating a connection with the family curse supposedly set in motion by the original founder of the estate in the middle ages, Sir Hugo Baskerville, the attachment is directly established through servants and relatives already present on the scene. The story begins with the death of Sir Charles Baskerville near a moor in Devonshire, England. A close friend and associate, Dr. Mortimer, was present for the autopsy and discovered Sir Charles died of a heart attack caused by a dreadful fright. Dr. Mortimer contacts Sherlock Holmes not for assistance in solving the matter of the death but for advice on how to handle the upcoming arrival of the only remaining heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, who will be coming from the United States to oversee the distribution of the inheritance. Holmes is unable to personally investigate this particular case because his attention is already employed elsewhere, so he sends his partner, Dr. Watson, to learn the details and be a bodyguard for Sir Henry while he stays in Baskerville Hall. Evidence of footprints, toothmarks, hair, blood is available on all sides, but it is Dr. Watson's questioning that helps Holmes uncover the reasons for the murders. The existence of a monstrous black beast with glistening fangs and a ghastly howl has a perfectly scientific justification after Holmes researches the reticent servant Barrymore, the history-empassioned Dr. Frankland, an escaped convict found on the moor. When the case is finally brought to an end, Watson gratefully acknowledges Holmes as "the most perfect reasoning and observing machine the world has ever seen." |

| "The Hound of the Baskerville," a tale of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was first published in serial form in 1901, then in book form in 1902. It's the story of an age-old curse and it's deadly ramifications to the Baskerville family. The mystery goes back generations, but Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on the case. The setting for the story came from Doyle's visit to the English moors. While there, he visited prehistoric ruins and heard tales about escaped prisoners and a local legend about a dog. From there, he developed the tale of the Baskerville hellhound, a terror that haunts the the family, and could mean the end of the Baskerville line. |
