rom the February 27, 2006 edition of the Yorkshire Post Today comes an article by Martin Hickes about Dr. Francis O’Gorman’s new annotated edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles - A whole new world in the story of Conan Doyle’s famous hound:

EVEN Holmes would have been bemused.

Seventy-five years after the death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the erstwhile detective’s illustrious creator, a new edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles suggests Holmes’s best-loved case may actually have been more of a journey into the psyche of its author rather than a simple whodunit.

Dr Francis O’Gorman from the University of Leeds has just completed a fully annotated version of the Hound, a book first published 105 years ago, which is allegedly Tony Blair’s favourite detective novel, and loved by millions across the world.

And while Conan Doyle’s interest in spiritualism – he was after all the man who resolutely backed the infamous photographs of the Cottingley fairies – has been well-documented elsewhere, the leading English literature academic, believes it reflects his own inner debates about the supernatural more so than has previously been realised.
