Sylvia Plath's Ariel, a collection of her most celebrated verses, including the iconic 'Lady Lazarus', 'Daddy', 'Edge' and 'Paralytic', emerged in the brief yet prolific period between her debut work, The Colossus (1960), and her untimely demise in 1963. These compositions, whilst brimming with despair, vengeance, and destructive energy, simultaneously exude tenderness, receptivity, and a razor-sharp wit.

As A. Alvarez astutely observed in the Observer, "They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity... the book is a major literary event." Plath's verses, in their sardonic and hardminded brilliance, have etched themselves into the annals of literary history.

This exquisitely crafted edition forms part of a distinguished series featuring five other beloved poets: Wendy Cope, Don Paterson, Philip Larkin, Simon Armitage and Alice Oswald. A true collector's item for the discerning poetry enthusiast.

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.’
