This beautiful pocket edition presents one of Sherlock Holmes' greatest cases, featuring gold foil embossing and gilded page edges.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is rated as Conan Doyle's best full-length Sherlock Holmes story. Set on Dartmoor, it pits Holmes and his faithful assistant, Dr Watson, against a deadly adversary. The spectre of the giant hound said to haunt the moor provides a sinister undertone to Holmes' investigations into the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville and his attempts to protect Baskerville's heir, Sir Henry.

Fast-paced and brilliantly plotted, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a shining example of the timelessness of truly great storytelling.
