Welcome to the blog for The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Re-Imagined, where I will be
sharing my thoughts regarding the book series, as well as LEGO® and Sherlock
Holmes in general.
Well firstly, for those of you not familiar with
the book series, in The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes Re-Imagined the original short stories about the great detective are accompanied by photographic illustrations of custom models which I designed and built using only LEGO® brand minifigures and
bricks.
Before we go further I would like to point out that LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO® Group of Companies, which has not been involved in nor has it in any way licensed or authorised the publication of this book series. Rather the book series was conceived and created solely by me, an avid fan of both Sherlock Holmes and LEGO®. And of course MX Publishing has helped immeasurably to make my books available to other fans of the master sleuth, both old and new.

How did the
book series come about?
I have been interested in Sherlock Holmes for the
last 20 years, since reading for the first time the engaging tales written by
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. For me, an integral part of these adventures are the
black-and-white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied their original
publication 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. Given the hours of enjoyment I
have derived from these illustrated tales, I wanted to contribute, in some
small way, to the enduring legacy of the great detective. Thus, I decided to
combine two of my interests, namely Sherlock Holmes fiction and building custom
designed LEGO® models. This book series, which reproduces as faithfully as
possible Paget’s drawings rendered in LEGO®, is the result.
