 1. Doyle, Arthur Conan  The Hound of the Baskervilles worktext
AV Concepts Corporation Paperback
These stories have been retold for today's readers, with atmospheric illustrations, an informative introduction and useful notes. Fire shot from its open mouth, its eyes flashed and its muzzle, throat and neck were covered in flames. I could never have imagined anything as savage as the dark shape and snarling face which charged out of that bank of fog... When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead in peculiar circumstances. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are called in to investigate. Does the death have anything to do with the terrifying hound said to haunt the Baskerville family? Holmes and Watson must risk their lives to solve the mystery. Children's Literature In this "Dorling Kindersley Classics" series, classic stories are abridged, retold and use marginal notes to supply background, illustrated definitions, maps and other information that will enhance readers' understanding and appreciation of the stories. While these marginal notes might seem potentially distracting, in the case of this Sherlock Holmes story, they are not. The marginal notes here are brief and to the point. They supply information about London, the art and science of detective work, the Victorian era and the moors that young readers will need to understand to fully appreciate the story. The well-planned and well-crafted watercolor illustrations blend into the novel's pages seamlessly, adding to the readers' full enjoyment of the story. This fully illustrated mystery novel loses none of its suspense to the annotations. Readers just being introduced to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective will get enough of the flavor of Sherlock Holmes to be anxious to read the real thing. And thanks to the annotations they've encountered here, they will have a good idea of his life and the times when they do. 2000, Dorling Kindersley, $14.95. Ages 10 to 16. Reviewer: Judy Katsh
Price: 11.19 USD
