INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Doyle, Arthur Conan

The Hound of the Baskervilles

(4) 4-6 Dorling Kindersley Classics series. Illustrated by Mark Oldroyd. This is an abridgment of the classic detective story. In addition to profuse, dark illustrations, the supplemental facts and photographs that pepper the margins provide some interesting historic background, but they also distract from the flow of the text. Double-page spreads give a bit of information about detective work in the past and present and about Doyle and his fictional creation.
