Summary "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a detective novel written during the late 19th century. This classic work features the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend Dr. John Watson as they embark on a chilling investigation involving a legendary supernatural creature that haunts the Baskerville family. The story is set against the eerie backdrop of the English moors, where mystery and danger intertwine. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who are in the midst of addressing an intriguing case brought forth by Dr. James Mortimer, a country practitioner. Mortimer presents a cane belonging to a mysterious visitor, prompting Holmes to deduce details about the man based solely on the cane’s features. Their conversation soon shifts to the ominous legend of the Baskervilles and the recent suspicious death of Sir Charles Baskerville. As secrets unravel concerning the eerie curse that has plagued the Baskerville family and odd happenings that surround Sir Charles's heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, the stage is set for a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue. Holmes and Watson are drawn into a web of supernatural terror and human malevolence as they seek to protect the heir from the dark legacy of the Baskerville line.
