Walpole was naturally upset (though he actually preferred dogs) and his friend the poet Thomas Gray wrote an elegy to console him.

Korda drafted a dazzling array of talents to render into pictures Wells's ideas of the future a hundred years hence. H ..."

Doyle transmogrified the legend: generations ago, a hound of hell tore out the throat of devilish Hugo Baskerville on the moonlit moor. ..."
