Arthur Conan Doyle, Alan Ronaldson: The Hound of the Baskervilles. Simplified Edition

Long ago the evil Hugo Baskerville was killed on the lonely moor near Baskerville Hall. His murderer was not a person but a gigantic dog which breathed fire. Since then many of the Baskerville family have died suddenly or mysteriously, and the people living near the Hall still fear the devil-like hound.
Then one night Sir Charles Baskerville dies just outside the Hall. Near his body are found the footprints of an unnaturally large hound. The great detective Sherlock Holmes is asked to find out how he died – and how to protect the new owner of Baskerville Hall from the terrible Hound of the Baskervilles.
