Features: This may be the world's most famous detective story. Sherlock Holmes is certainly the most renowned detective. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created this character over a hundred years ago. However, Holmes' various extraordinary adventures remain both vividly interesting and gripping to this day. To better understand the story, it is necessary to have some knowledge of Dartmoor: This is a real place in the southwest of England. It is a stretch of wilderness composed of rocks and marshes. At noon, a dense fog may suddenly rush towards you and envelop you. It is a soft, marshy area covered with green vegetation, capable of dragging people in and swallowing them whole. It is the location of the UK's most secure prison. It was also the place where the largest dog—Baskerville hound—roamed over a hundred years ago.
