The Greyhound of the Baskervilles

By: Arthur Conan Doyle, John Gaspard

Narrated by: Steve Hendrickson

This is a new edition of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mystery, The Hound of the Baskervilles. It’s the same story. Mostly. That is, it contains the same characters, the same action, and much of the same dialogue.

What’s different? Well, it’s a little shorter, a little leaner, a little less verbose in some sections.

But the chief difference is that it’s now narrated by a dog. A greyhound, in fact, named Septimus.

In this new edition, he tells his story of how he became “The Greyhound of the Baskervilles.”

Doyle’s story with a bit of dog lover added in

This is primarily an abbreviation of Doyle’s story. Added in are the perspectives of a greyhound. There is enough of the original story to follow and enjoy if you’ve never read it. The add ins will be entertaining to any dog lover. If you are not a dog fan, this probably isn’t for you, but I enjoyed it. If anything, I wish the author had included more from the dog.
