The Hound of the Baskervilles

The Hound Of The Baskervilles Audio Book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Written based upon longstanding rural British folktales of demonic beasts unleashed from the pits of Hell upon the unjust, Conan Doyle places his sleuth upon the trail of a legendary Hound of Hell literally 'dogging' the House of Baskerville since the wicked dominion of Hugo Baskerville.

Set at Dartmoor in Devon in England's South Country. At the time of researching the novel, Conan Doyle was a General Practitioner in Plymouth and thus was able to explore the moor and accurately capture its mood and feel. In the novel, the detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson are called to investigate a curse which is alleged to hang over the house of the Baskervilles.

Holmes and Watson are visited by Dr. James Mortimer, who wishes to consult them before meeting Sir Henry Baskerville, soon to arrive from Canada. Sir Henry has recently inherited the Baskerville estate on the Devon moors following the death of Sir Charles, his uncle. Mortimer narrates the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles, a demonic dog which allegedly killed Sir Hugo Baskerville in the 17th century. The legend has been viewed as a family curse ever since. When Holmes dismisses this as a fairytale, Mortimer informs them that Sir Charles was found in the grounds of Baskerville Hall, dead of heart failure, his face distorted as if he was in utter terror. Mortimer then reveals something he did not mention at the official inquest: near the body, he spotted the footmarks of “a gigantic hound”.
