“Cut out the poetry, Watson” [RETI]
The Hound of the Baskervilles holds a special place
for many people. It is a gothic tale of horror, mystery, and the
supernatural. A fine example of Conan Doyle's ability to tell a
good story. Trevor Raymond, BSI, M. Bt. thought it even lent
itself to poetry.
We share two of his versions of The Hound in poetic
form — as if written by two famous poets — plus discuss the likely
sense of the public's reaction when Holmes was off the scene for
eight years and then reappeared in The Strand. It's just a
Trifle.
