The Hound of the Baskervilles - in Haiku

~Part 1~

A/N: Here's my attempt at writing out the entire novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles"... completely in haiku! :) Hope you enjoy it - these are a lot of fun to write, and hopefully fun to read!

Two twenty one B
A strange walking stick and an
Unknown visitor

I give my theory
Holmes smiles and leans back – "Really, Watson
You excel yourself"

Dr. Mortimer
A country practitioner
Who likes Sherlock's skull

The myth of the hound
"A foul thing, a big black beast"
From Baskerville Hall

A story so old
Yet the mystery remains
And Charles is dead

A ghost or a dog?
Supernatural or real?
Sherlock contemplates

Heir to the estate
The young Henry Baskerville
Arrives in London

Mystery ensues
A strange note: "Keep off the moor"
And a stolen boot
