Letter from New York by Manderley Press is a delightful reimagining of Helene Hanff's cherished collection, originally crafted for BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour. This engaging edition features a captivating introduction by New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz, Helene's cousin, alongside an exquisite cover illustration by New Yorker artist Bruce Eric Kaplan.

Step into the vibrant world of 1980s Manhattan through Hanff's signature wit and warmth. This collection offers readers a unique window into her New York life, designed for British audiences yet universally captivating. Experience her insightful musings on:

  • Life in a high-rise reminiscent of "the last small town in America."
  • Heartwarming tales of her beloved Old English Sheepdog, Bentley.
  • Charming encounters in Central Park's Shakespeare's Garden.
  • Vibrant city parades, including the iconic St. Patrick's Day spectacle.
  • An eclectic circle of friends, from glamorous Arlene to Nina's enchanting 16th-floor garden.

This collection began as a six-month radio experiment in 1978, blossoming into a six-year love affair between Hanff and her audience. Long before the iconic 'Friends' or 'Sex and the City' captured the charm of New York life, these five-minute vignettes celebrated everyday magic and hidden treasures. Decades later, Letter from New York continues to enchant readers, providing a timeless portrait of life in the metropolis, penned by one of the 20th century's most beloved authors. Discover the magic of New York through Helene Hanff’s eyes and let her words transport you to a city that never sleeps.

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.’
