Embark on a captivating voyage with the special 10th Anniversary Edition of "Shackleton's Journey" by William Grill. This extraordinary edition offers a richly detailed visual narrative of Ernest Shackleton's legendary expedition to Antarctica, enhanced with new bonus material that deepens the experience.
Set during the twilight of the Heroic Age of Exploration, "Shackleton's Journey" chronicles Shackleton's ambitious dream to traverse the icy expanse of Antarctica—a land marked by treacherous seas, uncharted peaks, and relentless cold. When the expedition's ship, the Endurance, becomes ensnared in the unforgiving ice, Shackleton's aspirations are abruptly halted.
Stranded in a vast, frozen wilderness, far from the comforts of home, the crew embarks on a perilous journey across the ice, driven by the hope of survival and rescue. William Grill's masterful storytelling, combined with his evocative illustrations, brings to life the harrowing yet inspiring tale of courage, endurance, and the indomitable human spirit.
This edition is a treasure for both new readers and those revisiting the story, offering a fresh perspective on one of history's most remarkable adventures. With its engaging narrative and exquisite design, "Shackleton's Journey" promises to inspire every reader.

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.’
