Usborne are always known for the wealth of their illustrations, and these were no different. Pages of Colin King's artwork that made me want to go out and copy it, and above all, I wanted that detectives office!

In 1723, Handel took the lease on a new building in Brook Street, Mayfair. He would live in number 25 until he died in 1759. His servant John inherited the lease and managed to raise enough money to purchase the things in the house to keep it as it was.
The house changed hands throughout the 19thC, and in 1905 was purchased by an antiques dealer, whose family would own the house until the 1970s. The changes he made were not entirely sympathetic and when in 2000 the Handel House Museum Trust took over the job of returning the house to how it would have looked in its first owner's day, they faced a tough challenge.
Patrick Baty carried out the paint analysis of the interiors of Nos 23 and 25 Brook Street and the paints were mixed especially by Papers and Paints.

Dutch detective of Anthony Boucher - het mysterie van den ruintenboer published by G. Kolff & Co, Batavia in about 1947/48 (could be older too)
He reminds me of a manga character, Detective Conan. He poisoned with an untested poison that was supposed to kill him. However, instead of killing him, it shrunk him into a 8 year old boy.
