The MCT edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle is reproduced in its entirety and includes Michael’s “language illustrations”—close-ups of poetic techniques, four-level analyses of interesting grammar, and comments about writing strategies. Challenging vocabulary is defined at the bottom of each page.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the most famous novels in the English language, a literary masterpiece of suspense and mystery. Conan Doyle’s skill as a writer enables him, according to Michael, to “lift the words of the story above the random clutter of ordinary, toneless prose.”
