Nelson Mandela's 'Long Walk to Freedom' is a captivating memoir that Barack Obama deems 'essential reading for those seeking to comprehend history - and subsequently transform it'. This powerful narrative, hailed by The Times as 'the authentic voice of Mandela', offers a vivid account of the experiences that moulded one of the most influential moral and political figures of our era.
Praised by Andre Brink for its 'luminous faith in the indomitable nature of human hope and dignity', and by Desmond Tutu as a 'splendid' recounting of 'his story and the story of that struggle and a people's victory', this compelling autobiography brilliantly reconstructs the dramatic events that shaped Mandela's destiny.
Written with the eloquence and clarity befitting a born leader, 'Long Walk to Freedom' is an inspiring tale of an extraordinary life. It chronicles a journey marked by adversity and perseverance, culminating in an ultimate triumph. This emotive and uplifting narrative serves as a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit.

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.’
