Scott created these drawings in scratchboard  an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.
It’s elementary—there’s no more intriguing detective than Sherlock Holmes, with his unequalled powers of deduction, and no better mysteries than the tricky ones that only he can solve. Here are some of the finest Holmes stories, recounted by his trusty friend and assistant, Dr. Watson.
Once, wearying of Holmes, his creator killed him off, but was forced by popular demand to resurrect him. Sir Arthur -- he had been knighted for this defense of the British cause in his The Great Boer War -- became an ardent Spiritualist after the death of his son Kingsley, who had been wounded at the Somme in World War I. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in Sussex in 1930.

¿Sherlock, watch out,¿ someone shouted to me boom! ¿what happened Pudwill,¿ said Sherlock . My book was he adventures of Sherlock holmes and the author was Sir Canon Author Doyle. The Setting was old London and Germany. Sherlock has five mysteries I¿m going to tell you about one. The third mystery was about the secret factory. He found a note in his mailbox . and the rest is up to you. My opinion was it was to hard and I liked it I wanted to read it, it made it a challenge for me because I¿m not very good with words. The book was very interesting and Sherlock is very smart. He uses a lot of dialog. My recommendation is that the grade level was 8 grade because it is very challenging. It is very challenging because it gives very tough words. I liked the book a lot and it was very interesting.
