On the 150th anniversary of its publication, we celebrate Louisa May Alcott's reluctant masterpiece, 'Little Women'. Penned at her publisher's behest as 'a girls' book', Alcott drew upon her own experiences and those of her impoverished New England family to craft a tale that defied societal expectations. She recognised that girls were often required to be courageous, ingenious, and daring, and sought to create characters with whom they could truly identify.

Upon completion, Alcott remarked that the novel had surpassed her initial expectations, attributing its potential success to its authenticity: 'Not a bit sensational, but simple and true, for we really lived most of it'. This simplicity and truth resonated deeply with readers, and 'Little Women' has remained in print since its debut in 1868.

The March sisters - practical Meg, ambitious Jo, gentle Beth, and artistic Amy - continue to captivate hearts and minds. Whether you aspire to Jo's literary pursuits, share Amy's desire for a more becoming nose, or find solace in Beth's sweet nature, these characters remain as relevant and beloved today as they were a century and a half ago. This special edition, which includes the sequel 'Good Wives', ensures that the March girls will continue to inspire and delight for generations to come.

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.’
