Step into the evocative world of Ravilious & Co: The Pattern of Friendship, a remarkable biography by Andy Friend that unveils the rich tapestry of British inter-war artists and designers. This extraordinary book centers on the influential figure, Eric Ravilious, whose artistry continues to resonate today.

Through meticulously researched narratives, Ravilious & Co invites readers to explore the intricate relationships and creative exchanges within a vibrant circle of artists, profoundly shaped by the mentorship of Paul Nash at the Royal College of Art. Key figures include:

  • Edward Bawden
  • Barnett Freedman
  • Enid Marx
  • Tirzah Garwood
  • Percy Horton
  • Peggy Angus
  • Helen Binyon

This collective, often overlooked in history, brilliantly bridged fine art and design while embodying the spirit of contemporary British values. Friend's work not only showcases Ravilious’ evocative watercolours and wood engravings but also highlights the significant contributions of women artists during this pivotal era.

Enriched with lavish illustrations and newly uncovered material, Ravilious & Co is more than just a biography; it’s a compelling chronicle of creativity, camaraderie, and the shadows cast by the Second World War. This book is a must-have for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike, offering an intimate glimpse into a world that shaped 20th-century British art.

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.’
