Embark on a whimsical journey through time and gender with Virginia Woolf's most fantastical creation. This exuberant tale, recognised as one of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, delves into the very essence of sexuality with wit and charm.

Our protagonist, Orlando, begins as a boisterous young nobleman, revelling in the vibrant splendour of Queen Elizabeth's court. As the narrative unfolds, we witness an extraordinary transformation: Orlando evolves into a modern, 36-year-old woman, with three centuries passing in the blink of an eye. From this unique vantage point, Orlando not only observes history in the making but gains profound insights into matters of the heart, armed with the rare perspective of one who has experienced life as both man and woman.

This captivating edition, part of the Vintage Classics Woolf Series, features illuminating introductions by literary luminaries Peter Ackroyd and Margaret Reynolds. Prepare to be enthralled by Woolf's masterful prose and boundless imagination in this timeless exploration of identity and the human experience.

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.’
