Dive into the captivating memoir of Keith Brymer Jones, the beloved star of 'Our Welsh Chapel Dream' and 'The Great Pottery Throwdown'. This enchanting tale has readers utterly smitten, with many praising its charm, humour, and heart-warming narrative.

From ballet dancer to frontman of an almost-famous band, and now a judge on a hit pottery show, Keith's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. With the keen eye of a detective, he unravels the serendipitous moments that shaped his life, each chapter centred around a significant object—often a pot—that sparked a cascade of memories.

Keith's storytelling prowess shines as he recounts tales of his dyslexia, the art teacher who altered his trajectory, his parents, and that infamous video (a quick search of 'Keith Brymer Jones Adele' should suffice for the uninitiated). His narrative deftly weaves through the realms of music, dance, and pottery, painting a vivid picture of a life lived with passion and determination.

The result is a cleverly crafted memoir that offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Keith's pottery life, complete with thunderous music, impressive dance moves, and an abundance of throwing, fettling, and firing. Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions, from laughter to tears, as Keith bares his soul—including a generous dose of anxiety—in this must-read autobiography.

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.’
