Carrie's War, a timeless masterpiece by the esteemed author, is a heartfelt wartime novel that has captivated readers for generations. This modern classic features a new foreword by Michael Morpurgo and enchanting illustrations by Alan Marks, providing a poignant glimpse into the realities faced by children during World War II.
In Carrie's War, readers follow the journey of young Carrie and her brother Nick as they are evacuated from their London home to the serene yet unfamiliar Welsh countryside. Here, they encounter:
- A stern shopkeeper, Mr. Evans, whose tough exterior hides a complex character.
- The gentle warmth of Auntie Lou, who offers comfort in a time of chaos.
- A friendship with Albert, another evacuee, who shares in their adventures.
- The nurturing presence of Hepzibah Green, whose kitchen is a haven of delicious meals and captivating tales.
Despite whispers of Hepzibah being a witch, her kindness and the support of Mister Johnny help Carrie and Nick find a sense of belonging amidst the turmoil of war. As the story unfolds, the siblings are faced with tough choices that challenge their loyalty and reshape their understanding of friendship and trust.
Beautifully curated by Virago, Carrie's War stands alongside beloved works by literary greats such as Nina Bawden, Rumer Godden, and Frances Hodgson Burnett. This novel is meant to be cherished and shared, resonating with both children and adults alike. Whether revisiting this classic or discovering it for the first time, prepare for a touching and realistic portrayal of wartime experiences through the eyes of a child.

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.’
