Lady Chatterley's Lover, a masterwork from the esteemed publisher Penguin, is elegantly presented in this Clothbound edition crafted by the talented Coralie Bickford-Smith. This exquisite volume is not merely a book; it is a stunning piece of art that every book lover will treasure.
Set in early 20th century England, Lady Chatterley’s Lover unravels the poignant story of Constance Chatterley, who finds herself confined in a loveless marriage with the disabled Sir Clifford. As the constraints of her mundane existence bear down, Constance embarks on a transformative journey, seeking connection and passion beyond her marital bonds. Her encounter with the rugged gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors, ignites a passionate affair that challenges societal norms and delves into themes of love, class, and desire.

The novel’s daring exploration of intimacy and psychological depth resonates with contemporary audiences, reminding us of the timeless struggle for personal freedom amidst societal expectations.

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.’
