Question

Summary of the novel "The Hound Of The Baskerville" ?

Answer 1

For many years, the region around the Baskerville estate was poor and backward, but when Sir Charles Baskerville returns to claim his estate, the region again begins to prosper. By devoting his vast fortune—earned in business—to better the community, Sir Charles fills the long-empty role of leadership that is the duty of the Baskervilles. But into this otherwise happy and orderly society comes disorder in the form of two utterly evil men. One is a convicted mass murderer escaped from prison, who lurks about on the moors; the other is Seldon, a clever criminal, who is insidious enough to corrupt the faithful Baskerville servants into the service of evil.

Even more unsettling is the terrible Hound of the Baskervilles. When the good Sir Charles Baskerville is murdered, an ancient curse on the family is revealed that now threatens Sir Henry, the new heir. For generations, the Baskerville family has been victimized by a giant, spectral hound that prowls the moors. The hound now seems to be loose again; it has claimed Sir Charles and appears ready to strike again. Is this a supernatural creature or merely part of someone's devious plot to supplant the rightful heirs of Baskerville Hall?

Sherlock Holmes is called upon to solve the mystery, and the intricate story builds to an extraordinary climax when the hound attacks: "Fire burst from its open mouth, its eye glowed with a smoldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame." A fiend from hell seems loosed upon Sir Henry.

Summary:

Mortimer, a doctor, tells Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson of the legend of Hugo Baskerville. Hugo was chasing a girl on the moors of Devonshire when he fell victim to a large and supernatural hound. Ever since, the Baskerville's have died because of this mysterious hound. The death of Sir Charles Baskerville has started new suspicions and fears. The next in line, Sir Henry Baskerville, has arrived to take his position in Baskerville Hall, but he has already received an anonymous letter of warning and the theft of his shoe.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson agree to solve the case and discover that Sir Henry is being followed. When Sir Henry and Mortimer go to Devonshire, Watson goes with them as Holmes is busy with other cases as well. Watson meets potential suspects - Mr. Barrymore and Mrs. Barrymore, the servants of Baskerville Hall, and Mr. Jack Stapleton and his sister Beryl, Sir Henry's neighbors.

Many mysteries occur rapidly. Barrymore is caught sneaking around the mansion at night, Watson sees a lonely figure on the moor, Watson hears sounds of a dog howling, Beryl Stapleton gives a forceful warning and Watson learns of secret meetings between former Sir Charles and Laura Lyons, a woman living in a local town.

Visiting the old huts of the moors, Watson discovers that Holmes is the lonely figure on the moor. Holmes is hidden to not disturb the villain as to his involvement.

Can Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson figure out the mystery and save Sir Henry Baskerville in time?
