The Hound of the Baskervilles

Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Adventures gathers together the first 12 stories of the inimitable detective, in which Holmes' vaunted infallibility slips somewhat: the arch-sleuth is even bested by a woman - a shocking put-down for any Victorian male! With 13 original illustrations, and written in masterly style, these are tales you will come back to again and again.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.
