Synopsis
"The Hound of the Baskervilles" is the classic detective chiller. It features the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, in his most challenging case. The Baskerville family is haunted by a phantom beast "with blazing eyes and dripping jaws" which roams the mist-enshrouded moors around the isolated Baskerville Hall on Dartmoor. Now the hound seems to be stalking young Sir Henry, the new master of the Baskerville estate. Is this devilish spectre the manifestation of the family curse? Or is Sir Henry the victim of a vile and scheming murderer? Only Sherlock Holmes can solve this devilish affair.

I quite liked this story, the first Sherlock Holmes book I've read.

Unfortunately this particular edition (Parragon Children's Classics) has the worst editing I've every seen! Words have spaces in the middle of them for no reason, and sentences have random extra letters and symbols at the end. E.g. "He did not ob serve any." and "...who is this Barrymore, anyhow.?n". Maybe its some kind of mysterious code...

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Sent as a holiday gift to camis because this is one of the 1001 books.

Thank you so much for this and the other goodies you sent - adding to Mount TBR for now :)

Thought this was ok, but it didn't really grip me. I think the main reason was the editing - I have to agree it was dreadful!

Will find a new home for this.
