Discover a remarkable anthology of verse from the beloved author of 'Cider with Rosie'. Laurie Lee's poetry, steeped in his profound connection to the natural world, chronicles the ebb and flow of seasons and the passage of time. Yet his verses extend beyond pastoral scenes, delving into the realms of war, human bonds, and far-flung locales, drawing upon his own experiences of upheaval and strife.

Penned throughout his lifetime, the poems in this collection paint vivid portraits: Lee fiddling in a Spanish village, revelling in the springtime splendour of his cherished Slad valley, and grappling with faith amidst winter's chill. This volume, the first to compile Lee's poetic works, includes a generous selection of previously unpublished verses from his personal archives.

These timeless, poignant compositions distil the very essence of life, love, and loss, offering readers a captivating journey through the eyes of one of Britain's most cherished wordsmiths. 'Collected Poems' stands as a testament to Lee's enduring legacy, inviting both longtime admirers and newcomers to explore the depth and breadth of his poetic genius.

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.’
