The world of Baker Street is fun, so much so that some adults still extend the Great Detective's career with their own stories. </p><p>Many adults also enjoy LEGO as a nostalgic, relaxing, and creative outlet. That’s why we were eager to talk to LEGO Group Design Master Antica Bracanov and Graphic Designer Crisy Dyment about their creation of the LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook. </p><p>Joining us from LEGO’s offices in Billund, Denmark, Antica and Crisy take us through the concept, the process, and the community of designers, engineers, and model-makers who brought it to life. You’ll hear how the key moments and objects Sherlock Holmes fans will recognize were selected, and how they were adapted to fit LEGO’s style and humor. You’ll find there are some self-described “Sherlock Holmes nerds” on the LEGO team, too.</p><p>Speaking of Sherlockian nerds (guilty), we share upcoming events for the first half of September in our "<b>The Learned Societies</b>" segment. Then, you will not want to miss this episode’s<b> Canonical Couplet</b> quiz, which this time is <b><a href="https://ihose.co/ihosepatron" target="_blank">only open to our paying Patreon and Substack supporters</a></b>. This episode’s prize is a LEGO Sherlock Holmes Book Nook! Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock.com by August 14, 2025 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

When Sir Hugo Baskerville, "a most wild, profane, and godless man" finds that the girl he kidnapped has made her escape, we get a sense as to his temper tantrum:</div><div><blockquote><div>"Then, as it would seem, he became as one that hath a devil, for, rushing down the stairs into the dining-hall, he sprang upon the great table, flagons and trenchers flying before him, and he cried aloud before all the company that he would that very night render his body and soul to the Powers of Evil if he might but overtake the wench. And while the revellers stood aghast at the fury of the man, one more wicked or, it may be, more drunken than the rest, cried out that they should put the hounds upon her."</div></blockquote></div><div>One has to imagine such a fellow as employing a few choice invectives.</div><div><br /></div><div>And although there are no profanities—even the use of "bloody" is reserved for actual sanguinary events—there are a number of insults that are peddled. </div><div><br /></div><div>Holmes himself is the subject of many of these, usually uttered by frustrated antagonists. He's been called a jack-in-office, a busybody, a rascal, a spy and thief, "Mr. Cocksure," a double traitor, and more.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are insults aplenty to be had, and you can listen to an entire discussion about them in <a href="https://www.episodes.fm/1198869691/episode/YjVkN2RmMDcyM2YzNDg0YTlhYmRlYTkxNDMxMjllMWI" target="_blank">Episode 91</a> of <i>Trifles</i>: </div><div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" data-dashlane-classification="other" data-dashlane-frameid="21689" data-dashlane-rid="962a0144f4a8b487" height="192" mozallowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" oallowfullscreen="true" scrolling="no" src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/7092591/height/192/theme/modern/size/large/thumbnail/yes/custom-color/1d234a/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes/font-color/FFFFFF" style="border: none;" title="Embed Player" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="100%"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, we'll see how the boys manage to keep their mouths clean at Baker Street Elementary...</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDJ3ESdd3lECk5kzVS0TBxJZ-FBulJ7RKKUchhFO6gBjYz8rnvEHF0P_DMM6UEYrzeU5KNpTBKQeH3zOcw3o1FY2XbrXSScAHr-uEjlIN97Inz78FR4zj0fdTiHPQqAc_Wscsj48kQSHd-B7z-2sxr_dvEFcf6fvSIBdpsRsE0cA1AyahoATHtEX1F9dsE/s1365/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20206.2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1365" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDJ3ESdd3lECk5kzVS0TBxJZ-FBulJ7RKKUchhFO6gBjYz8rnvEHF0P_DMM6UEYrzeU5KNpTBKQeH3zOcw3o1FY2XbrXSScAHr-uEjlIN97Inz78FR4zj0fdTiHPQqAc_Wscsj48kQSHd-B7z-2sxr_dvEFcf6fvSIBdpsRsE0cA1AyahoATHtEX1F9dsE/w640-h360/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20206.2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNyNb-zqyHCIT23UVniqmIdRtCWU4zRbEc_W9yGHAQixBkFbYBJx4zg6yAq_pqiIwGLr1adiGh21A_tIgh9WLiahMAjg98Ht4VpP6Qci41FYYe1pNg2nD2lBaEm537sFsxcOPzEBbMdis__cFopLcfEo0vq5NYXAGPGC04hk9b2bjEzr74U6N3CHzdr9xD/s1365/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20206.3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1365" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNyNb-zqyHCIT23UVniqmIdRtCWU4zRbEc_W9yGHAQixBkFbYBJx4zg6yAq_pqiIwGLr1adiGh21A_tIgh9WLiahMAjg98Ht4VpP6Qci41FYYe1pNg2nD2lBaEm537sFsxcOPzEBbMdis__cFopLcfEo0vq5NYXAGPGC04hk9b2bjEzr74U6N3CHzdr9xD/w640-h360/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20206.3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4XO6FYVdMlmMfcSF7gYvZKmndkM7vjRjUT48cjUbc_um8YRZ9usUABeUOfleJ4Qvwnsp-9_bmdAPSsV_zl7Jfv9crftl5myJ21EGBtjUAio2IH-KQtJ5czzcBg3dHpcAhJvf3whtf93P9eBI1nqyfRWt9RwVUWxF-knIlMXGkbeh5B6Qz7Vy4gcS1Laf/s1365/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20206.4.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1365" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4XO6FYVdMlmMfcSF7gYvZKmndkM7vjRjUT48cjUbc_um8YRZ9usUABeUOfleJ4Qvwnsp-9_bmdAPSsV_zl7Jfv9crftl5myJ21EGBtjUAio2IH-KQtJ5czzcBg3dHpcAhJvf3whtf93P9eBI1nqyfRWt9RwVUWxF-knIlMXGkbeh5B6Qz7Vy4gcS1Laf/w640-h360/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20206.4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><i>Baker Street Elementary</i></b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> follows the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, as they and their friends work through the issues of elementary school in Victorian London.

They include stories and novels set in any era, any place, and any time. They all bring the Great Detective to new audiences — so how do you go about selecting (just) fifty-two to explore? Join our conversation with Paul Bishop as we explore his new book, <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/3Ixva0x" target="_blank">52 Weeks | 52 Sherlock Holmes Stories</a></i></b>. Paul is the author of 15 novels and numerous TV and film scripts — and also a 35-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department.</p><p>Paul’s new book is a selection of Sherlockian pastiches chosen and recommended by the individual essay writers themselves. Beyond the plots and author bios, Paul’s writers give personal perspectives on why these stories were important to them, and the connection Sherlock Holmes has played in their lives. </p><p>Paul also discusses his writing career, which spans multiple genres including screenplays, westerns and other novels. He discusses his journey as an author, and how storytelling has shaped his life. We also talk about connecting with fellow writers, and the remarkable variety of people drawn to Sherlock Holmes.</p><p>Some of those remarkable people will be gathering in person and virtually in the weeks ahead, so you will want to hear about August events in “<b>The Learned Societies</b>” segment. Madeline Quiñones is back with “<b>A Chance of Listening</b>,” and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with <b>a copy of Paul's book </b>for the winner.
