From the title The Improbable Tales of Baskerville Hall, fans of Sherlock Holmes can immediately tell that the story is connected to the famous detective. Baskerville appears in the title of one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Although it was his third novel featuring Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles was not published as a full book at first; it was serialized in a magazine. The story tells of a family curse and a large, ghostly dog. Holmes must rely on logic to discover the truth.
从《巴斯克维尔BOOK1:学院的待解之谜》这个书名中,夏洛克.福尔摩斯迷便能立刻看出此故事与这位名侦探息息相关。巴斯克维尔一词出现在亚瑟.柯南.道尔最著名的故事之一的标题中 ── 《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》。虽然《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》是柯南.道尔第三部以夏洛克.福尔摩斯为主角的小说,但它最初并没有以整本书的形式出版;而是于杂志上连载。该故事讲述了一个家族诅咒和一只巨大的幽灵狗。福尔摩斯必须依靠逻辑来发现真相。
