Paris by Julian Green is not just a book; it's a mesmerizing journey through the heart of the City of Lights, celebrated by the Observer as “the most bizarre and delicious of travel books.” Dive into a lyrical love letter that invites you to explore the hidden stairways, charming courtyards, and whispering alleys that define this enchanting metropolis.

This extraordinary narrative offers more than just stunning visuals; it reflects on the essence of urban life. Green, an American-born writer who spent most of his life in Paris, crafts vivid imagery that transports readers across time and space. From the cool embrace of a deserted church on a hot summer day to the haunting memory of Notre Dame during a winter storm in 1940, each page resonates deeply.

  • Unforgettable Imagery: Experience chestnut trees aglow like 'Japanese lanterns' at night.
  • Emotional Reflection: Contemplate the passing street cries and nostalgia for old buildings.
  • A Journey of Discovery: Meditate on the beauty of getting lost and the art of leisurely exploration.

Acclaimed by the Times Literary Supplement as “truthful, unpretentious, and haunting,” Paris transcends typical travel literature. It beckons readers to connect with the city on a profound level, making it a must-have addition to any book lover’s collection. Unlock the secrets of Paris and discover what it truly means to know a city through the eyes of Julian Green.

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.’
