Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Illustrated by Federico Volpini. Adaptation and activities by Janet Borsbey and Ruth Swan

‘Suddenly, in the darkness, there was a terrible, low howl and it came from the moor. ‘The hound!’ cried Holmes.’
An old family document says that everyone who lives at Baskerville Hall is in danger from a terrifying animal which lives on Dartmoor. When Sir Charles Baskerville dies in a mysterious way, his nephew, the young Sir Henry Baskerville, comes to  live on Dartmoor. Is he in danger too? Is there really a dangerous animal on the moor, or did someone murder Sir Charles? Sherlock Holmes, the world-famous detective, is the only person who can solve the case. Or can he? Even Holmes is worried.
