Book excerpt: "To the man who loves art for its own sake," remarked Sherlock Holmes, tossing aside the advertisement sheet of "The Daily Telegraph", "it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived. It is pleasant to me to observe, Watson, that you have so far grasped this truth that in these little records of our cases which you have been good enough to draw up, and, I am bound to say, occasionally to embellish, you have given prominence not so much to the many "causes célèbres" and sensational trials in which I have figured but rather to those incidents which may have been trivial in themselves, but which have given room for those faculties of deduction and of logical synthesis which I have made my special province.""And yet," said I, smiling, "I cannot quite hold myself absolved from the charge of sensationalism which has been urged against my records.""You have erred, perhaps," he observed, taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting with it the long cherry-wood pipe which was wont to replace his clay when he was in a disputatious rather than a meditative mood--"you have erred perhaps in attempting to put colour and life into each of your statements instead of confining yourself to the task of placing upon record that severe reasoning from cause to effect which is really the only notable feature about the thing.""It seems to me that I have done you full justice in the matter," I remarked with some coldness, for I was repelled by the egotism which I had more than once observed to be a strong factor in my friend's singular character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. This uniquely illustrated collection, which features some of the most famous and enjoyable cases investigated by Sherlock Holmes and his devoted friend and biographer Dr. John H. 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.

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. After being educated in England and Austria, Doyle studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, and also practical botany at Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden. He worked as a ship's doctor and surgeon, and then set up his own medical practice in Portsmouth in 1882. His practice proved unsuccessful, and, having had several pieces of writing published (including academic articles and a short story), he focussed on writing fiction even though his difficulty in finding a publisher led him to continue his work, study, and writings in medicine. A Study in Scarlet, the first work featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, was published in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887. Its sequel, The Sign of the Four, appeared in Lippincott's Magazine in 1890, and short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes were published in the Strand Magazine (in 1891, A Scandal in Bohemia introduced him to a wide audience). Made a Knight Bachelor by King Edward VII in 1902, Doyle was also appointed Knight of Grace of the Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem in 1903. While he wrote on a broad range of topics, his other most popular works include Holmes novels The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902) and The Valley of Fear (1915), and science fiction and fantasy novels The Lost World (1912), The Poison Belt (1913), and The Land of Mist (1926) featuring Professor Challenger. Doyle died of a heart attack at his house in Crowborough, East Sussex, in 1930.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) is known the world over as the creator of the famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. But Conan Doyle was a prolific writer who produced a large body of work ranging from non-fiction and full-length novels to a wide-ranging collection of short stories. Doyle's first major success as a writer came with the debut of Sherlock Holmes in the 1887 publication of "A Study in Scarlet". Holmes was a popular sensation, and more stories followed. By 1891, Sherlock Holmes was enough to provide Doyle a living, but Doyle came to resent Holmes, who kept him from what he considered "more important" work. In 1893 he "killed" Holmes, as the detective and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, plunged to their deaths at Reichenbach Falls in "The Final Problem". It was no mere publicity stunt. Doyle considered himself finished with Mr. Sherlock Holmes. The public uproar in reaction to Holmes' "death" shocked Doyle, with even his own mother complaining, and as the clamor continued he was forced to bring the detective back in "The Hound of the Baskervilles", published, to vast public sigh of relief, in 1901. Ironically, the character Doyle resented as a "distraction" from serious work would ultimately appear in fifty-six short stories and four novels, together with countless adaptations to films, television, cartoons, and modern pastiches by an assortment of authors. In fact, the "world's first consulting detective" is widely regarded, along with Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan, as the best-known fictional characters in the world.
