THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
Reading edition
A Sherlock Holmes Novel
Illustrated by Sidney Paget
The London Chronicle, in a review headed
“THE ZENITH OF SHERLOCK HOLMES,”
says:
“We should like to pay Dr. Doyle the highest compliment at our command. It is not simply that this book is superior in originality and construction to the earlier adventures of the great detective. Dr. Doyle has provided a criminal who, as Mr. Holmes admits, is indeed a foeman worthy of his steel.[A] Hitherto he has found it comparatively easy to unmask his antagonists. But in the present case he finds himself checkmated again and again. There is pitted against him a skill nearly equal to his own, and he wins the game almost by a hair.”
