I wrote this book because I wanted to share my love of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson with my grandchildren. I firmly believe that there is a bit of Holmes in all of us and this coloring book will allow youngsters to see a bit of themselves in the Great Detective.Let them put Holmes in a red deerstalker and purple Inverness. Maybe London is green in their minds and hansoms are orange. The important thing is that they find as much fun coloring in this book as I had writing it. And if they share the world they create with you arent they really sharing their dreamsWhen it comes to the Canon I encourage authors to color within the lines. However when it comes to coloring books we never eliminate the impossible.
