Description

All Around the Year, a timeless work by renowned author Michael Morpurgo, transports readers to the picturesque Parsonage Farm in Devon where life flows harmoniously with the seasons. Originally published in 1979, this enchanting diary unveils the rich tapestry of rural life, capturing both the challenges and triumphs faced by a mixed farming community.

With beautifully illustrated photographs by James Ravilious from the Beaford Archive, All Around the Year provides a visual feast that complements the heartfelt narrative. The poignant poems by Ted Hughes offer diary-style reflections from his own farm in Iddesleigh, creating a compelling connection between the two pastoral worlds.

This book is not just a collection of words and images; it is a celebration of a way of life that, although seemingly distant, resonates with many. Inside, readers will discover:

  • Vivid Descriptions: Experience the daily rhythms of farm life through Morpurgo’s evocative prose.
  • Seasonal Insights: Gain a deeper understanding of the agricultural processes that dictate life on the farm.
  • A New Perspective: Katherine Rundell’s insightful introduction sheds light on the enduring relevance of rural traditions.

Despite the passage of time, All Around the Year remains an award-winning exploration of nature, resilience, and the human spirit. This beautifully crafted book not only serves as a nostalgic journey through the past but also encourages readers to reflect on the changing relationship with the land.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
