Behold, a literary masterpiece that has earned its place among the BBC's esteemed '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'. This exquisite tome, part of Penguin's sumptuous Clothbound Classics series, boasts a design of unparalleled elegance by the illustrious Coralie Bickford-Smith. Each volume in this coveted collection is a feast for the senses, swathed in vibrant, tactile cloth and adorned with gleaming foil embellishments.

Our tale unfolds with the captivating Elizabeth Bennet's initial encounter with the eligible Fitzwilliam Darcy. At first glance, she deems him a haughty, self-important fellow, utterly indifferent to her beauty and quick wit. The plot thickens when Elizabeth uncovers Darcy's meddling in the burgeoning romance between his companion Bingley and her cherished sister Jane, further cementing her resolve to despise him.

What follows is a scintillating comedy of manners, in which the incomparable Jane Austen deftly exposes the folly of hasty judgements and first impressions. With razor-sharp wit and keen observation, she paints a vivid portrait of the gossip, friendships, and social pretensions that permeate provincial middle-class existence. A true masterpiece that continues to captivate readers, offering a window into a world both familiar and fascinatingly distant.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
