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>.
