ABOUT THE BOOK
For many years I have been an avid fan of the original stories of Sherlock Holmes written by Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the works of Edward Gorey, and in particular his illustrated alphabet books. Thus, I decided to combine these interests along with my fondness for building custom designed LEGO® models. This (hopefully) enjoyable book is the result.
SELECTED ILLUSTRATIONS

RE-IMAGINED LITERARY CLASSICS
Sherlock Holmes ─ Re-Imagined
In this book series, the original stories penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring Sherlock Holmes and his devoted friend and biographer Dr John H. Watson have been amusingly illustrated using only LEGO® brand minifigures and bricks. The illustrations recreate, through custom designed models built of LEGO® pieces, the composition of the black and white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of these adventures appearing in The Strand Magazine. Paget’s iconic illustrations are largely responsible for the popular image of Sherlock Holmes, including his deerstalker cap and Inverness cape, details never mentioned in the writings of Conan Doyle.
