Book Vs. Movie: The Hound of the Baskervilles

The 1902 Book vs. The 2012 BBC One Production

The Margos are concluding “Mysteries in May” with one of the greatest mystery writers of all time, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and his most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels serialized in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902. It follows Holmes and Watson as they investigate the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in “The Final Problem,” and the success of “The Hound of the Baskervilles” led to the character’s eventual revival. The 2012 version is from the BBC One program Sherlock and moves the story to the present day. When it was first broadcast, it received over 10 million viewers.
