Ariel by Sylvia Plath is a breathtaking collection that encapsulates the essence of her brilliance, showcasing iconic verses such as Lady Lazarus, Daddy, Edge, and Paralytic. This edition serves not only as a testament to Plath's extraordinary talent but also as a treasure for poetry lovers and collectors alike.

Published during a prolific period between her debut work, The Colossus (1960), and her untimely passing in 1963, Ariel captures the raw emotions of despair and vengeance, interwoven with tenderness and sharp wit. A. Alvarez aptly noted in the Observer that these poems exhibit "great artistic purity" and exude a sense of generosity despite their nihilistic themes.

Immerse yourself in the world of Sylvia Plath, where her verses resonate with powerful imagery and profound insight. This exquisitely crafted edition is part of a distinguished series that features works from celebrated poets such as:

  • Wendy Cope
  • Don Paterson
  • Philip Larkin
  • Simon Armitage
  • Alice Oswald

Ariel is not just a book; it represents a major literary event that has etched itself into the annals of history, ensuring its place in the hearts of readers. This collection showcases Plath's sardonic brilliance and hard-minded insight, making it a must-have for any discerning poetry enthusiast. Experience the transformative power of her words and discover why her legacy endures through generations.

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.’
