It's a real pleasure to handle the book, the print is very clear, and no matter how many times you have read this story it remains absolutely fascinating. From the very beginning, when we learn about the legend of the Hound and the dangers to the Baskerville family, it is gripping. What I love about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing is that not a word is wasted in any of his Sherlock Holmes stories, and I love being taken back to the London of those times, when you could send out for maps, when there were hansom cabs, etc., and the world was so different. The novel takes you back in time completely, because the settings are so vivid. I was delighted to be able to replace my old copy, which had fallen apart (I bought it many, many decades ago) and enjoy the book afresh. Review: The Fog of Science - The Hound of the Baskervilles opens with the story of an ancient, aristocratic Devonshire family haunted by a mythic hound, continually hell-bent on avenging an injustice committed by a Lord Baskerville many generations ago. Sherlock Holmes investigates the recent death of the latest Lord, and threats made to the next Baskerville heir. Holmes is not a man for superstition. Scientific in his approach to crime solving, he does not take kindly to supernatural hounds stalking around Devonshire seeking vengeance for past wrongs. I had no trouble seeing that you could easily poke fun at The Hound of the Baskervilles. While there is great descriptive writing, the dialogue is stiff, with little variation between voices. The main characters, whether they are upper class Englishmen, women or Americans, all sound like upper class Englishmen. Characters of the lower classes are incapable of doing anything helpful without a half sovereign to persuade them towards correct behaviour. Holmes puffs hopelessly on his appalling shag tobacco, while somehow remaining a finely tuned physical specimen, ready to run any villain to ground and administer a sound thrashing. Beyond all that, however, The Hound of the Baskervilles is actually a fascinating study of science. So bear with me and let’s investigate. The scientific method involves isolating a limited number of variables, while keeping everything else the same. That way you work out the effect of those few factors you have isolated. This is what Holmes does. He creates the limits of a controlled experiment. He begins to investigate the Baskerville case from his Baker Street office in London, laying in a large quantity of the strongest shag tobacco. Shutting himself away from the countless variables of the city, he concentrates his mind on the few facts of his case. The resulting smoky, poisonous atmosphere in his room disgusts Holmes’s assistant, Dr. Watson. Watson tries unsuccessfully to persuade Holmes to leave a window open. The great detective, however, works by closing windows. He looks forward to moving the scene of his investigation from London to Dartmoor. There, instead of a city full of variables, he enjoys the prospect of concentrating his investigation on the few inhabitants of Dartmoor living close to Baskerville Hall. This is a characteristic set-up for detective fiction: think of Agatha Christie’s train marooned by snow in Murder on the Orient Express. Holmes is undeniably successful in his forensic studies, but the story of his investigation also suggests that life refuses to see itself as a few isolated factors. Life is like London, a teeming mass of interrelationships. Holmes’ smoke-filled Baker Street room does not suggest the clear light of truth and neither does Dartmoor. Fog is a defining feature of both. This is what I liked about The Hound of the Baskervilles. This is crime fiction saying that science isn’t the only way to find out about life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0141192437 | | Best Sellers Rank | 38,578 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 118 in Classic Horror 244 in Fiction Classics (Books) 505 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (8,413) | | Dimensions | 20.09 x 13.56 x 2.24 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 9780141192437 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0141192437 | | Item weight | 340 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 195 pages | | Publication date | 1 Oct. 2009 | | Publisher | Penguin Classics | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![The Hound of the Baskervilles: Another Adventure of Sherlock Holmes (Penguin Clothbound Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wuRutdScL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely edition of the much-loved, fascinating story *by A***N on 18 February 2026* This is a lovely paperback edition of the old, much-loved and always fascinating story.
