HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, THE

by Williams, Simon

This exciting new adaptation was a special commission to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s thrilling masterpiece. When Sir Charles Baskerville dies in mysterious circumstances, his last remaining relative, Sir Henry Baskerville, travels home from America to claim his inheritance - Baskerville Hall, which lies on the edges of the wild moors of Devon. The local legends say that there is a curse on the Baskervilles, caused by Sir Hugo Baskerville’s actions many years earlier. The curse has taken the form of a gigantic, ferocious hound, which stalks Dartmoor and has caused the death of successive generations of the Baskervilles. When Sir Henry turns to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson for assistance, Holmes suspects a fiendish plot, and begins to unravel the mysteries of the moors in a race against time to save Sir Henry from the fate of his ancestors.
