THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILES (ARTHUR C. DOYLE)

 


Sherlock Holmes lounges in his seat at 221B Baker Street, racking his brains over yet another perplexing case. How will he save Sir Henry, the last of the Baskervilles, from the curse of the hounds of the Baskervilles, which is believed to be the cause of the death of Sir Charles, the former resident of Baskerville Manor?

This case might well be, as Sherlock Holmes remarks to Watson many times, ‘the toughest case he has ever had,’ and that ‘he may have finally found a villain worthy of his steel.’ This book is still giving me the shivers as I am writing this review. This book is quite scary, so I recommend younger children to first read Satyajit Ray’s ‘Feluda’ and then turn over to Sherlock Holmes.

I recommend this book to children of ages 12+.

THE HOWLER RATING: ★★★★☆
