The juxtaposition of the real figure of Baring-Gould and "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is irresistable. I almost could believe that it really happened. My favorite scene surrounds the misquotiation of Dr. Mortimer's famous line in HOUND. "...the footsteps of a gigantic hound."

I practically died of joy. It's still my favorite in the Russell world, though it has some hot competition. O, thank you, Ms. Ki...err....Ms. Russell. :) //Meredith On the fourth of June in 2004 I picked up this book and found out there were Really more Holmes stories. I practically died of joy.

I had just begun listening to the book for the third time when I broke my ankle - which has kept me from driving - and since I listen mostly in the car, this is a treat I'm looking forward to when I get back behind the wheel. It was so moving to visit Baring-Gould's church, and to see his grave and that of his wife...really, that whole experience has made the book come alive even more. And convinced me that no way would I ride across the Moor alone, even for Holmes. Well, maybe for him. But not for anyone else!

I appreciate this series so much more now. Cannot wait for GOTH, needless to say!

Wandering Baring-Gould's home and seeing all the details put in the book was a treat beyond words. MOOR is, I think, the one Russell book that requires several readings to fully appreciate. Russell's ride through Dartmoor on Red is a tour de force of emotions and revelations. --Alice Your pictures bring back wonderful memories of last years visit to Lew Trenchard and Dartmoor.
