1902The Hound of the Baskervilles
Arthur Conan Doyle
When Sir Charles Baskerville dies of fright near a legend of a spectral hound, Sherlock Holmes sends Dr Watson to guard the heir on the lonely wastes of Dartmoor while he works unseen. Doyle's most famous case maps a real and forbidding landscape: the Baker Street opening, Baskerville Hall on the moor, the treacherous Grimpen Mire, and the fog-bound heath across which the great hound comes.
