Synopsis "The Hound Os The Baskervilles"

“Of the origin of the Hound of the Baskervilles there have been many statements. yet as I come in a direct line from Hugo Baskerville. and as I had the story from my father. who also had it from his. I have set it down with all belief that it occurred even as is here set forth...” The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the 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. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this story shortly after returning to his home Undershaw from South Africa. where he had worked as a volunteer physician at the Langman Field Hospital in Bloemfontein at the time of the Second Boer War.
