Embark on a spellbinding journey with the inaugural instalment of Earthsea, now available in a sumptuous hardback edition. Complete your literary treasure trove with The Tombs of Atuan, The Furthest Shore, and Tehanu, all adorned with Charles Vess's captivating illustrations.

Acclaimed authors Neil Gaiman and David Mitchell sing praises of this enchanting trilogy. Gaiman marvels at how it transformed his perception of the world, infusing it with a profound magic of words and true speaking. Mitchell implores readers to immerse themselves fully in this magical realm.

Meet Ged, Earthsea's most formidable sorcerer, once known as Sparrowhawk in his impetuous youth. Driven by an insatiable thirst for power and knowledge, he meddled with ancient secrets, unleashing a terrifying shadow upon the world. This gripping tale chronicles his arduous trials as he masters potent words of power, subdues an ancient dragon, and traverses the threshold of death itself to restore equilibrium.

Margaret Atwood lauds the Earthsea trilogy as a poignant exploration of life and death's intricate dance. She notes that Ged must confront his shadow self before it consumes him, achieving wholeness only through this confrontation. Along his perilous path, he grapples with the enigmatic wisdom of dragons—a wisdom alien to our own, yet profound in its own right.

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.’
