On a lonely stretch of Devonshire moor, a great and terrible hound is said to hunt the heirs of Baskerville Hall. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead, his face frozen in terror and the footprints of a gigantic hound nearby, only one man can tell whether a family curse or a human hand is at work: Sherlock Holmes. The most famous of the Sherlock Holmes adventures sends Dr. Watson alone to a fog-bound manor among suspicious neighbors, an escaped convict, and a legend that will not die, while Holmes plays a deeper game than anyone suspects.

This Karitas Press edition presents Arthur Conan Doyle's complete novel in clear, contemporary English. The archaic phrasing of 1902 has been gently eased and obscure period terms are explained in brief footnotes, while Doyle's narrative, dialogue, and atmosphere are preserved exactly as he wrote them: faithful and immersive, the classic mystery with nothing standing between you and the story.

This edition includes:

The complete novel, all fifteen chapters, in clear modern English
Explanatory footnotes for Victorian and period terms
A faithful text that preserves Conan Doyle's voice and style
A note on the edition and a clean, readable design
