Synopsis

The Sherlock Holmes Re-Imagined series presents Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original adventures with new, amusing illustrations made entirely from LEGO brand minifigures and bricks. Custom-built models recreate the composition of Sidney Paget’s black-and-white drawings first published with the stories in The Strand Magazine, images that helped define the popular visual identity of Holmes.

In this instalment, Mr Hilton Cubitt asks Holmes to interpret unsettling coded messages formed from small “dancing” figures. When events turn violent, Holmes uses what the cipher reveals to challenge the assumptions of the investigation and set a trap for the culprit. The book also invites readers to decode encrypted text on the front and back covers using the story’s cipher, making it a natural choice for LEGO enthusiasts and Sherlock Holmes fans, children and adults alike.
