The country doctor had come to 221B Baker Street, the famous lodgings of Sherlock Holmes, with an eerie — the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles, the devil-beast that haunted the lonely moors around the Baskervilles’ ancestral home. The tale warns the descendants of that ancient family never to venture out on the moor. But Sir Charles Baskerville is now dead — and the footprints of a giant hound are found near his body. Will the new heir of the Baskervilles meet the same dreadful fate? Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. Watson are faced with their most terrifying case in this wonderful classic of masterful detection and bone-chilling suspense.阿瑟·柯南·道尔（Arthur Conan Doyle，1859~1930），生于苏格兰爱丁堡，因塑造了成功的侦探人物──夏洛克·福尔摩斯而成为侦探小说历史上重要的作家。堪称侦探悬疑小说的鼻祖。代表作有《福尔摩斯探案集》（包括《血字的研究》《四签名》《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》等）。《福尔摩斯探案全集》的出版使福尔摩斯在英国读者中成为妇孺皆知的英雄，也使其作者柯南·道尔一举成名，后人更是称其为“侦探小说之父”。
Sir Arthur ConanDoylewasborn in Edinburgh in 1859. After nineyears in Jesuitschools, he wentto Edinburgh University, where he received a degree in medicine in 1881. He then became an eye specialist in Southsea, with a distressing lack of success. Hoping to augment his income,he wrote his first story,A Study in Scarlet. His detective, Sherlock Holmes, was modeled in part after Dr. Joseph Bell of the Edinburgh Infirmary, a man with spectacular powers of observation, analysis, and inference. Conan Doyle may have been influenced also by his admiration for the neat plots of Gaboriau and for Poe’s detective, M. Dupin. After several rejections, the story was sold to a British publisher for £25, and thus was born the world’s best-known and most-loved fictional detective. Fifty-nine more Sherlock Holmes adventures followed. Once, wearying of Holmes, his creator killed him off, but was forced by popular demand to resurrect him. Sir Arthur—he had been knighted for this defense of the British cause in his The Great Boer War—became an ardent Spiritualist after the death of his son Kingsley, who had been wounded at the Somme in World War I. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in Sussex in 1930.
