---The Secret Seven are a secret society who hold regular meetings and organize things to do, whether it's helping the community in some way, solving mysteries that turn up, or just having fun playing Red Indians in the woods. The Seven have a secret password, a badge, and a secret headquarters in a garden shed. The Seven are led by Peter and include Peter's sister Janet, and their friends Jack, Colin, George, Pam and Barbara. They are joined by their golden spaniel, Scamper. The society was actually formed in a short story prior to the first book in this series. The first was At Seaside Cottage, featuring Peter and Janet, and the second was The Secret of Old Mill, which featured the entire gang in their first Society meeting. Peter enforces the rules and delegates tasks for the members. The Seven investigate mysteries by shadowing, interviewing and, most importantly, looking for clues. The Seven tackle all sorts of mysteries from missing dogs to mail robbery, and always come out on top.

--- It is a crime novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, originally serialized in the Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902 and mainly set on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country. At the time of researching the novel, Conan Doyle was a General Practitioner in Plymouth[citation needed], and thus was able to explore the moor and accurately capture its mood and feel, as well as hearing numerous tales of various black hounds. Conan Doyle's former school, Stonyhurst College is thought to have provided the inspiration for the description of Baskerville Hall.[1] In the novel, the detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson are called to investigate a curse which is alleged to hang over the house of the Baskervilles. |
