Doyle wrote four novellas featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, but The Hound of the Baskervilles has always been the most famous and popular. It provides high tension, mystery, the supernatural and the rational, a legend, mysterious doings in the dark, a bit of romance, an unscrupulous villain and a super-sleuth. What more could you ask for?
We all love to see good triumph over evil. Many of us enjoy an intellectual challenge and we love the illusion of reality when we are reading fiction. Sherlock Holmes’ feet are firmly planted on the pavements of 19th C London and we join him there, but he also takes us to more exotic locations.
Sherlockian scholars give this book a perfect Holmes rating of 100%. The BBC’s ‘Big Read’ poll for the UK’s best-loved novel listed it at 128 out of 200.
Join me on Dartmoor in the company of Holmes and Watson, puzzle your brains over enigmatic clues, test your deductive skills, and enjoy a great classic of the mystery genre with this fabulous book. This book establishes many of the things we take for granted in crime novels today. What debt do you think today’s crime writers owe to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?

A Reader's Guide to Evelyn Waugh & 'Brideshead Revisited'
$5.00Like so many viewers, I was seduced by the 1981 TV adaptation of Brideshead Revisited and went on from that to read the novel for the first time. In it, I discovered a rich evocation of a bygone age, a lavish tribute to the glories of Oxford and the beauties of Venice, and an intriguing portrait of an English country estate.

A Reader's Guide to Jane Austen & 'Emma'
$5.00Emma is the perfect book. In my view, no other novel can equal it for brilliance, depth of psychological perception, understanding of human nature, unrivalled use of language that never wastes a word, and utterly sublime romance and comedy, and critics almost invariably rank it as Jane Austen’s greatest novel.

A Reader's Guide to Jerome K. Jerome & 'Three Men in a Boat'
$5.00Jerome K. Jerome wrote one of the funniest and best-loved books in the English language, Three Men in a Boat and spawned a mini tourist industry on the Thames River. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do – that you revel in its comedy, sigh over its hopeless young men, picture the wonderful river scenery that conjures up so much English history, laugh over its eccentricities, and of course never forget that dog, one of the best dogs in literature.
