Synopsis :

The Hound of the Baskervilles first appeared as a series of short stories in The Strand magazine from April 1901 to April 1902, marking the return of Sherlock Holmes after his apparent death in “The Final Problem” (the last story in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes). In England’s West Country, Holmes and his loyal accomplice Dr. Watson investigate a murder cloaked in the mystery of the legend of the black dog—a supernatural entity out of English folklore. It is considered by many to be the best of the four Holmes novels and ranks among the best-loved novels on the BBC’s The Big Read poll.

This Warbler Classics edition includes the obituary Maurice Leblanc wrote for Arthur Conan Doyle and a detailed biographical timeline.

SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (1859–1930) was a prolific Scottish writer who created the immortal characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. These masterfully told stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction. His other works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. Doyle was also an advocate for justice, a political reformer, an amateur architect, an avid sportsman, and an avowed Spiritualist.

MAURICE LEBLANC (1864–1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin who is often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes.

“One of the most famous stories ever written.”
—The Guardian
