Two stories about Sherlock Holmes: the great detective's encounter with Dr. Watson and one of the most mysterious cases on the Devonshire moors.

The 27-year-old physician Arthur Conan Doyle published his very first Sherlock Holmes story only after several rejections—and for a pittance! Back in 1887, no one could have imagined that the Baker Street detective would become so beloved by readers that even when the author wanted to end the story, they wouldn't let him.

Sherlock Holmes is approached by Dr. Mortimer of Grimpen, whose patient, Sir Charles Baskerville, has died under mysterious circumstances. Locals believe the family curse of a ghostly hound stalking the Baskervilles on the moors is to blame. Now a young heir arrives at the estate... Will Holmes be able to solve the crime before another one is committed?

The book also includes the novella "A Study in Scarlet." In it, readers are first introduced to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson—and learn the case that began the story of the world's most famous detective.
