i think there are 24, but im not too sure because i found what looks to be an online version of the book, however im not sure if it is complete. try the link below as this is the site i found, hopefully it helps!!

Volume one consists of four letters that serve as an introduction, and eight chapters.

Volume two consists of nine chapters and volume three consists of seven.

So the book is made up of an introduction and twenty-four chapters.

Stapleton killed Sir Charles Baskerville, by setting his hound on him. The dog was made up to look like a hellhound and it is heavily implied- if not blatently stated? that the dog was starved and possibly beaten. It didn't kill him, though- he saw it and he died of fright, which I think is what Stapleton intended.

The Adventure of the Speckled Band was published in February 1892, and it was written shortly before that.
The Adventure of the Speckled Band was created in 1892.

Henry Baskerville is initially skeptical and dismissive of the legend of the hound when he hears it. However, as the story unfolds and he learns more about the mysterious circumstances surrounding his uncle's death, he becomes increasingly troubled and anxious. The chilling nature of the tale begins to weigh on him, making him question the reality of the supernatural threat. Ultimately, he is caught between rational skepticism and growing fear as he confronts the family legend.

There is little mentioned about Sherlock's family. Only a few times you meet his brother Mycroft while Holmes' grandmother was sister to Vernet the French artist and a distant relative Verner who bought Watson's pactice, but there is not mention of family other than that.

"My ancestors were country squires, who appear to have led much the same life as is natural to their class" -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter'

Scowrers were the criminal organization in Valley of Fear and their boss was Councillor McGinty.

The second half of 'The Valley of Fear' is VERY loosely based on the very real historical account of a group known as the Molly Maguires and a Pinkerton detective named James McParland.

Sherlock Holmes sometimes with Watson either being sent a letter or just a sudden visit then Sherlock asks the client to explain the situation Sherlock makes some deductions about his client they are usually surprised then he goes to investigate gets clues and captures the criminal.

chronologically told out by the author.

Watson describes him as rather over six feet tall, dark hair, very piercing and expressive eyes, pale skin, hands stained with chemicals with long, thin fingers. Always clean, possessing a "cat-like sense of personal cleanliness." Always keen and introspective.

There are actually two Hugo Baskervilles in the story. Hugo (I) Baskerville is the one who supposedly started the curse who lived in the 1600's (his portrait is dated 1647). The 'curse' manuscript is dated 1742, and it is written by Hugo (II) Baskerville to his sons Rodger and John, with instructions that they say nothing thereof to their sister Elizabeth.' Sir Charles Baskerville is both Hugos direct descendant who died in June of the year of the story (circa 1889).

The identity of the killer of the female is speculation. She could have been killed by Hugo (I), died of fright, died from injuries in a fall, or she may have been killed by the hound.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was Sir Charles' ancestor and he kidnapped a girl form the local village then she tried to run away. Hugo chased after her, killed her, and then the dog killed him and this how the curse of the Baskervilles began.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir Charles Baskerville is a descendant that has information about what happen on the night that the Yeoman's daughter and Hugo Baskerville are found dead.

Hugo Baskerville is a wicked man who kidnapped a yeoman's daughter. He and his friends dragged her to Baskerville Hall where they locked her in the tower. While he was having dinner with his guests, the girl escaped. Once it was discovered that she was missing, Hugo Baskerville sent dogs to retrieve her. The guests ran to stop him, once they found out what he was intending. Yet, when they got to the woods they found that he had already killed her. However, he was also dead. A giant black hound was found tearing his throat. That is how the Curse of the Baskervilles began.

WARNING - CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!

They fall over the Reichenbach Falls and (supposedly) die, although, Sherlock comes back three years later -- and says that he never fell in the first place -- in order to clear his name after the version written by Moriarty's brother (also named James) was published, and he is able to carry on his work.

told ya... spoilers.

German, Hungarian, and English

Well we're not sure exactly. We know A.C. Doyle carved the character after himself. In some parts of the books we get hints including: -He has a bullet from a rifle in his right leg from a war. -He has a short mustache but no beard. -He is rather portly. -He has brown eyes.

In 1893 After seeing the magnificent Reichenbach Falls in the northern Swiss Alps Conan Doyle decided the place would make a worthy tomb for Sherlock Holmes.

The Adventure of the Final Problem was published in Dec 1893 in The Strand magazine and later collected in 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.' People were so upset that many thousands cancelled their subscription to the magazine.

In 1901 Sherlock Holmes reappeared in The Hound of the Baskervilles. However it is clear that Holmes was not alive. This story took place before the incident at Reichenbach Falls.

Later Holmes really was brought back to life in 'The Adventure of the Empty House' published in 1903.

Sherlock Holmes' hair is raven black. This is its color in most physical appearances throughout the years, including all drawings (the traditional sketches being by Sidney Paget) and television shows such as Granada's version of the stories (starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes and David Burke/Edward Hardwicke as Watson). Only in the animated series called Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century was it a different color; that was blonde.

In 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band,' there was a whistle then a clanging noise, and they were caused by the whistle that Dr Roylott used and the closing of his safe door.

No one wrote the note. Only the one word 'MOOR' was printed; the rest was pasted newspaper clippings. If you insist on knowing this spoiler answer, it was sent by Beryl Garcia.

Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin, Emile Gaboriau's Monseiur Lecoq, Wilkie Collins' Sergeant Cuff, and Fergus Hume's Detective Gorby.

Well, according to some, Conan Doyle got the name Holmes from Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the name Sherlock from a famous violinist

Sherlock Holmes' first case was 'The Gloria Scott' published in 1893, but the first published Sherlock Holmes story was the novel, 'A Study in Scarlet' (1887) which, coincidentally, was his first case where he was accompanied by Watson.

I'm not entirely sure he always left with three, considering the fact he ALWAYS forgot to grab his pistol. He always leaves with his jacket, tool/investigation kit, and most likely his hat. Although he didn't always bring his hat.

MAGNIFYING GLASS

The following quotation is found in four variations throughout the stories making it the most used saying of Sherlock Holmes.

"Once you eliminate the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"

The Baker Street irregulars are the 7 different groups that help homes from time to time. They get payed 1 shilling a day but if they find a fatal clue, Holmes pays them 1 guinea (1 pound and 1 shilling).

Holmes concludes that Mr Wilson was a manual labourer because his right hand was 'quite a size larger' than his left, that had been engaged in writing as it was evident by his shiny right shirt-cuff and elbow patch on the left, he deduced that he had spent some time in China as Mr. Wilson had a fish tattoo with pink scales distinct to the methods of China and a Chinese coin on his watch-chain.
