About this listen

Could the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville have been caused by the gigantic ghostly hound which is said to have haunted his family for generations? Arch-rationalist Sherlock Holmes characteristically dismisses the theory as nonsense. Claiming to be immersed in another case, he sends Watson to Devon to protect the Baskerville heir and to observe the suspects at close hand.

Featured Article: The Sherlock Holmes Universe, Explained


The world’s most famous detective almost didn’t survive the 19th century! In our shared joy of finding a new corner of the Sherlock Holmes universe, Holmes fandom appeared inextricable from the universe it helped to build. Fans encouraged keeping the Holmes narrative alive in the 19th century; fan devotion fueled the Sherlock Holmes universe of book, film, TV, streaming, audio, and more. In the 21st century, the game has never been more afoot!

Derek Jacobi's masterful reading of "The Hound" stands paws snd shoulders above the dozens of other recordings of this classic. There is not much to say other than this is as nearly perfect a book as one could write. To stare that I highly recommend it would be an understatement.

I purchased this version of the story specifically because it was read by Derek Jacobi, and I'm so glad I did! He was absolutely perfect for the role, and even huffed and puffed Watson expertly. Recommended!

Worth it for his reading of the story's climax alone! Nice work from Sir Derek, and of course the original ripping good yarn.

great storyline enshrouded with mystery enough to satisfy any sleuth of the novel alike. it is one of those books that you glance over certain points as unimportant or useless detail that you find you have to listen to it again after completion coming to find it was of utmost importance to the unraveling of the mystery. classic story still holds up today!
