Адаптированная книга. Языковой уровень: A2 Шерлок Холмс и доктор Ватсон едут в Дартмур, чтобы расследовать странные обстоятельства гибели сэра Чарльза Баскервилля. Действительно ли на роду Баскервиллей лежит проклятие? Действительно ли на торфяных болотах живет гигантская собака, истребляющая Баскервиллей одного за другим?

"Sir Charles died of a heart attack," said Dr Mortimer. "He was running away from somethin when he died." "What was he running away from?" asked Holmes. "I looked at the ground where Sir Charles had walked," said Dr Mortimer. "There were footprints on the ground. They were not the footprints of a man. They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!"

The recent death of Sir Charles Baskerville stirs up a dangerous business. For the "luminous, ghastly, and spectral" hound of the family legend has been seen roaming the moors at night, and it appears that the new baronet has inherited, along with the ancient house and vast wealth of his family, a dreadful destiny. . . .
