"Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt."

Award-winning Sherlock Holmes narrator David Timson leads the listener through Conan Doyles most famous tale The Hound Of The Baskervilles. This is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring Holmes and was the first appearance of the the archetypal detective since his apparent death in The Final Problem (1893). Set largely on Dartmoor, the haunting tale tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a diabolical hound of supernatural origin. First serialised in The Strand Magazine in 1901, The Hound Of The Baskervilles immediately captured readers imaginations and continues to do so today, as the BBC included it in its list of the 100 most influential novels last year.
