The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author) (UK edition)

The Baskerville family has been haunted for generations by a fearsome hound – a phantom beast with blazing eyes and dripping jaws. So the legend goes. Then Sir Charles is found mysteriously dead in the grounds of Baskerville Hall – and a huge black beast is heard howling on the moor. It’s time to bring in Sherlock Holmes, the greatest brain in London, to see if he can discover the truth about the Baskerville family curse… Sherlock Holmes’s shiveringly spooky detective adventure is an elementary read for all enquiring minds!
