Content descriptions
General Note: | "Adapted from the original novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." -- T.p. |
Target Audience Note: | "After the success of their Illustrated Classics version of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Ian Edginton and I.N.J. Culbard have teamed up again to create a visually compelling graphic novel adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's masterpiece. And the superb writing and beautiful art takes Conan Doyle's supernatural tale to new heights. All the elements are here for a thrilling tale: A gnarled walking stick, missing boot, neglected family portrait, convicted killer on the loose, and the ancestral curse of a phantom hound. The great detective himself, Sherlock Holmes-with the help of Dr. Watson has his work cut out for him in a dramatic mystery that will keep readers guessing until the very end." --From the publisher. |
