Books with title Sherlock Holmes in the Hound of the Baskervilles: A BabyLit® Sounds Primer

The Hound of the Baskervilles was the third novel to feature Sherlock Holmes. The mystery of the beast lurking on Dartmoor in Devon has thrilled readers ever since it was first published in serial form in the Strand Magazine in 1901-02. It has since become a classic of crime fiction. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes contains 12 short stories which relate the experiences of Sherlock Holmes in his capacity as a consulting detective, aided, and abetted by his friend, Dr. John Watson. The stories were first published in the Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892 and were then collected together in 1892. Doyle's personal favorite was The Adventure of the Speckled Band.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four 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.

2 Cassettes, Approx. 2 hoursDramatizationFor generations, the legend has been passed down. A satanic tale of a gigantic hell-hound, a devil incarnate who stalks the wastes of Dartmoor wreaking a bloody and terrible vengeance upon the heirs of the house of Baskerville.While a country doctor brings the bizarre and seemingly unearthly circumstances surrounding the death of Sir Charles Baskerville to the attention of Sherlock Holmes, it is the beginning of one of the strangest cases of the great detective's career. Convinced by the arrival of an extraordinary warning that Sir Charles' heir, Henry, is in danger of his life, Holmes dispatches Dr. Watson to accompany the young man to the dark and somber house deep within the bleak Devon moor. With peril at every hand and a murderous escaped convict at large, the mystery deepens. Is the ancient legend true, or is the hideous creature merely a part of a sinister conspiracy whose origins are all too diabolically human? A lavish BBC dramatization featuring Clive Merrison and Michael Williams in the classic partnership of Holmes and Watson.

The country doctor had come to 221B Baker Street, the famous lodgings of Sherlock Holmes, with an eerie tale-the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles, the devil-beast that haunted the lonely moors around the Baskervilles' ancestral home. The tale warned the descendants of that ancient family never to venture out on the moor "in those dark hours when the powers of evil are exalted." But one of the most recent Baskervilles, Sir Charles, was now dead, and the footprints of a giant hound had been found near his body. Would the new heir of the Baskervilles meet the same dreadful fate? Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. Watson are faced with their most terrifying case in this wonderful classic of masterful detection and bone-chilling suspense.This audiobook includes the bonus Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men."
