Persuasion by Jane Austen is a timeless classic, meticulously crafted by Penguin as part of their esteemed Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. This stunning hardback edition is not only a literary treasure but also a visually captivating piece, featuring high-quality, colorful cloth binding with intricate foil stamping that makes it a perfect collectible.
At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot finds herself in a precarious position — no longer young and without any romantic prospects. Eight years prior, she was convinced by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to the dashing naval captain, Frederick Wentworth. Their unexpected reunion unfolds a poignant tale of love, regret, and the complexities of societal expectations.
Set against the charming backdrops of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion brilliantly satirizes vanity and pretension while delving into the deep emotional currents of missed opportunities. Austen's final completed novel reminds readers of the enduring power of love and the often tumultuous journey that accompanies it.
Immerse yourself in the eloquent prose of Jane Austen and experience a beautifully crafted love story that remains relevant through the ages with Persuasion. This edition is a celebration of literary excellence and aesthetic beauty that every reader should own.

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.’
