Sherlock Holmes, the world's “only unofficial consulting detective”, was first introduced to readers in A Study in Scarlet published by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. It was with the publication of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, however, that the master sleuth grew tremendously in popularity, later to become one of the most beloved literary characters of all time. In this book series, the short stories comprising The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes have been amusingly illustrated using only Lego® brand minifigures and bricks. The illustrations recreate, through custom designed Lego models, the composition of the black and white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of these adventures appearing in The Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. 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.

Watson, including A Sandal in Bohemia and The Red-Headed League, is sure to delight Lego enthusiasts, as well as fans of the Great Detective, both old and new.

Victor Hatherley, giovane ingegnere idraulico, giunge nello studio del dottor Watson perché il suo pollice è stato tranciato di netto. Tutto era iniziato così: l’ingegnere era stato incaricato da un oscuro colonnello, Lysander Stark, di controllare il funzionamento di una pressa idraulica, ma ben presto si era reso conto che quella richiesta nascondeva qualcosa di losco… In questo racconto dallo stile inconfondibile, la solita perspicacia di Holmes condurrà alla soluzione del mistero, ma stavolta non assicurerà i colpevoli alla giustizia.
