When Sir Charles Baskerville dies in mysterious circumstances, his nephew and heir Sir Henry returns from South Africa. In the meanwhile, Dr Mortimer, the local doctor, is concerned about Sir Henry's safety, so he consults Sherlock Holmes and recounts the tale of one Sir Hugo Baskerville who, several generations previously, had been killed by a huge hound and which now is believed to be a curse on the family. When Holmes agrees to take on the case it almost immediately becomes apparent that Sir Henry's life is indeed in danger.
Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was most noted for his stories about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. ‘A Study in Scarlet’ was the first of 60 stories that featured Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur also created equally brilliant characters alongside that of Holmes: his friend Dr Watson the good-natured narrator of the stories, and the master criminal Professor Moriarty. Conan Doyle was so successful in his literary career that in about five years from when he started writing, he abandoned his medical practice and started devoting his entire time to writing. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was versatile in his writing, and wrote numerous other books which brought equal fame. Historical romances like Micah Clarke (1888), The White Company (1890), Rodney Stone (1896), and Sir Nigel (1906) brought him many accolades.
