Behold, Virginia Woolf's magnum opus, now adorned in a splendid clothbound edition, artfully designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. This revolutionary masterpiece of the 20th century, as hailed by Michael Cunningham, invites readers into the intricate tapestry of human consciousness.

On a single June day in 1923, we follow the graceful Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for an evening soirée, her mind awash with memories of past loves. Simultaneously, in another corner of London, we witness the harrowing struggles of Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran teetering on the precipice of sanity.

With remarkable dexterity, Woolf weaves together the disparate threads of these lives, along with those of Clarissa's acquaintances, as they inexorably converge towards the dazzling crescendo of the party. Through her mastery of the interior monologue, Woolf blurs the boundaries of past, present, and future, creating a rich tapestry of human experience.

This definitive edition, meticulously edited by Stella McNichol and enriched by Elaine Showalter's insightful introduction and notes, offers readers an unparalleled journey into the depths of Woolf's literary genius.

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.’
