A superb version of the well-known classic. This version sticks very closely to the original story as told by Arthur Conan Doyle. The story focuses on the legend that there is a terrible beast on the moors near to the stately ancestral home of the family of the Baskerville in Devon. Sherlock Holmes and his bumbling side-kick, Doctor Watson, visit at different times and in different guises in order to solve the mystery. However, as in a great many of Sherlock Holmes’s stories there is tragedy and heart-ache awaiting them! The pictures are fantastically drawn, and for someone who hasn’t read many graphic novels, I found this one quite easy to read, and engaging even though usually I find the pictures to get in the way of my own imagination. However, as usual with these sorts of picture books, I read it really quickly.
