For generations, the Baskerville family have believed themselves to be cursed by the bloodthirsty ghost of a hound that prowls the fog-drenched moors of their Devonshire estate. When Sir Henry Baskerville falls victim to the curse, the great detective Sherlock Holmes embarks on his most famous case.
Of all the Sherlock Holmes novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Hound of the Baskervilles is genuinely considered the best by Sherlockians. Set before the famous detective apparently fell to his death at the Reichenbach Falls, this was a rare example of Conan Doyle adding elements from his interest in the supernatural into a Sherlock Holmes adventure. Perhaps it is this combination of Britain's most famous detective and the supernatural that has invited so many different film and TV adaptations.
