The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his intended death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.

Sherlock Holmes's best ... remains a classic --Marcel Berlins The Times

About the Author

<DIV>Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. After nine years in Jesuit schools, he went to Edinburgh University, receiving a degree in medicine in 1881. He then became an eye specialist in Southsea, with a distressing lack of success. Hoping to augment his income, he wrote his first story, A Study in Scarlet. His detective, Sherlock Holmes, was modeled in part after Dr. Joseph Bell of the Edinburgh Infirmary, a man with spectacular powers of observation, analysis, and inference. Conan Doyle may have been influenced also by his admiration for the neat plots of Gaboriau and for Poe s detective, M. Dupin. After several rejections, the story was sold to a British publisher for £25, and thus was born the world s best-known and most-loved fictional detective. Fifty-nine more Sherlock Holmes adventures followed. Once, wearying of Holmes, his creator killed him off, but was forced by popular demand to resurrect him. Sir Arthur he had been knighted for this defense of the British cause in his The Great Boer War became an ardent Spiritualist after the death of his son Kingsley, who had been wounded at the Somme in World War I. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in Sussex in 1930.</DIV>

Arthur Conan Doyle

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and died in 1930. Within those years was crowded a variety of activity and creative work that made him an international figure and inspired the French to give him the epithet 'the good giant'. He was the nephew of 'Dickie Doyle' the artist, and was educated at Stonyhurst, and later studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where the methods of diagnosis of one of the professors provided the idea for the methods of deduction used by Sherlock Holmes.

He set up as a doctor at Southsea and it was while waiting for patients that he began to write. His growing success as an author enabled him to give up his practice and turn his attention to other subjects. He was a passionate advocate of many causes, ranging from divorce law reform and the Channel Tunnel to the issuing of inflatable life-jackets to sailors. He also campaigned to prove the innocence of individuals, and his work on the Edjalji case was instrumental in the introduction of the Court of Criminal Appeal. He was a volunteer physician in the Boer War and later in life became a convert to spiritualism.

His greatest achievement was, of course, his creation of Sherlock Holmes, who soon attained international status and constantly distracted him from his other work; at one time Conan Doyle killed him but was obliged by public protest to restore him to life. And in his creation of Dr Watson, Holmes's companion in adventure and chronicler, Conan Doyle produced not only a perfect foil for Holmes but also one of the most famous narrators in fiction. Penguin publish all the books about the great detective, A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, The Uncollected Sherlock Holmes and The Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes.

... written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that features the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and John Watson

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2015

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that features the brilliant Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. In this suspenseful mystery, the duo investigate the mysterious death of the wealthy Sir Charles Baskerville, the former heir to Baskerville Hall. Local folklore tells the story of a vicious hound that has cursed the family for generations and killed many of its members. This story follows Watson as he travels to Devon to protect the new heir to Baskerville Hall and solve the age-old mystery. Doyle’s novel features suspense, drama, and mystery, as he reveals the dangerous secrets of Baskerville Hall.
This book is clearly another one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s literary masterpieces. It has become a classic and developed quite a following throughout the years. Many different adaptations of this story have been made, including major motion pictures and television series. The suspense, complex mystery, and brilliant writing style featured in this novel are responsible for its lasting influence on audiences. The twists and turns of the plot were clearly ahead of their time and seem to be something one might see on television today. Doyle does a fantastic job keeping readers interested until the very end. He incorporates mystery, drama, violence, suspense, and romance in Watson’s recollection of this case. This interesting point of view provides readers with an enormous amount of details. Watson recalls every aspect of the moor and Baskerville Hall, allowing one to feel as though they are actually at the Baskerville estate.
Another factor that contributes to this novels popularity is the choice of diction. The vocabulary used creates an advanced novel that is still easily comprehendible. Not only is the diction easy to understand, but it also contributes to the unpredictable plot twists throughout the story. While a bit slow moving at first, the mystery moves at a satisfying rate as it beings to unfold. Doyle’s gory result in a large fan base today. Readers are left on the edge of their seats as they follow Watson through every twist and turn in this suspenseful plot. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a suspenseful mystery novel.

A competently-formatted, comprehensive collection, worth every one of those ninety-nine pennies!

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017

When looking for an e-book version of public domain fiction, by far the biggest problem is finding a version that is properly formatted, with not just nice-looking title headings and properly separated paragraphs and chapters, but evenly-justified text and a functional Table of Contents to make navigating the book convenient. This e-book compilation, which orders the stories chronologically according to publication rather than separating the novels and the short stories into separate parts of the book, provides a very neat, clean way to experience Holmes. The text formatting is perfect as far as I can see, and the Table of Contents very thorough: the main table of contents contains links to each individual "book" (that is to say, each of the novels and each of the short story collections) which in turn has its own Table of Contents with links to individual chapters or short stories. There is no lengthy, flowery introduction or foreword on offer here to sing Doyle's praises, but there is an appendix section which lists out all of the film adaptations of Holmes stories and also provides links to free, public-domain audio-recorded versions of all the books contained in this collection with the exception of "The Casefiles of Sherlock Holmes."

If you are at all curious, I encourage you to download this e-book's sample version and have a look. You won't find a more suitable way to experience the Sherlock Holmes stories outside the realms of physical collections, and at 99 cents, it's well worth it for the comfort of a well-formatted e-book with this much content in it.

I was surprised to read reviews of this collection that said it is incomplete, specifically not including the stories from The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes. That may have been the case in earlier available versions of this anthology, but in the downloaded Kindle version which I purchased, all of the novels and stories are present, including the Casebook collection. In addition, there is a complete table of contents for the whole book. Following a link to one of the collections brings up a table of contents with links to each of the stories in that collection. Very well done in my estimation. Be careful which version of the canon you purchase. Few of them are complete, including one called Conan Doyle Complete Works, which is a remarkable and well indexed collection, but does not include stories from the Casebook collection.

Dreadful edition of great stories

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

The "ultimate collection"? It's not even complete! The whole of the last volume of stories is missing.

Even worse, it's shockingly badly edited. Everything that should be in italics is either in CAPITALS, or written _like this_. Both are really irritating and unnecessary. Some of the illustrations (which are crucial to several of the stories) are included, but many are missing, with marks like "XXX" to indicate where the slapdash and lazy editor meant to insert them but forgot. There are typos and odd little editorial proof notes that should never have made it to the final version. It's as if they got bored halfway through putting it together.

Unbelievably shoddy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

Having been a life-long fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories I could not resist the idea of always having them available on my mobile. Whether you want to immerse yourself in a novel (any of the long stories) or fill in time waiting for a train with a short story, the variety of plots will always surprise. I am just as gripped by the horror of "The Speckled Band" now as I was at the age of twelve and now, as an adult I see the humour and appreciate the friendship and mutual respect between the main characters, which has not always come across in dramatisations. The stories endure, and always will.

It's Sherlock Holmes what more can I say

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

I already had a hardback of all the short stories which I read every now and again even though I've read them all several times before. I wanted this as it contained the novels. I've enjoyed reading those and still found myself rereading some of the short stories. Nice and easy to navigate on my kindle fire device. Some interesting extra information at the end and links to free audio recordings which I may try next. I'm a Sherlock fan (not fanatical but enjoyed these from being a teenager) so it was always going to work for me. Happy with my purchase.

That took so long, but was it worth it?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2016

If you're somebody like me, who wants the satisfaction of knowing you've read everything Sherlock Holmes and can now discuss it well with others - read this completely. If not, I would strongly advise that you read the novels, and most well-known short stories and leave the rest. You would be quite satisfied having done so, as reading everything is not really necessary and became a slight chore near the end!!

I've read quite a lot of classic stories recently and, out of all of them, this collection is, by far, my favourite. I love the way Sherlock's mind works and he is such a great character. There's so many stories in this collection and I'm actually only half way through, but looking forward especially to getting to Hound of The Baskervilles. Well worth the puny price tag!!
