Description

All Around the Year, authored by the acclaimed Michael Morpurgo, invites you into the serene landscapes of Parsonage Farm in Devon, where the beauty of nature unfolds with the seasons. This timeless work, first published in 1979, is more than just a diary; it is a heartfelt narrative that captures the essence of rural life, celebrating both the struggles and victories of a vibrant farming community.

Enhanced by stunning photographs from James Ravilious, sourced from the Beaford Archive, All Around the Year transforms words into a visual masterpiece. Readers will also find poignant poems by Ted Hughes, reflecting on his own experiences from the tranquil farm in Iddesleigh, forging a connection between two worlds filled with pastoral charm.

Within the pages of this enchanting book, you will uncover:

  • Vivid Descriptions: Immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of farm life through Morpurgo's evocative prose.
  • Seasonal Insights: Gain a deeper understanding of the agricultural processes that shape existence on the farm.
  • A New Perspective: Katherine Rundell’s insightful introduction highlights the enduring relevance of rural traditions.

Despite its original publication more than four decades ago, 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 reflection on our evolving 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.’
