Introducing Shakespeare's First Folio: All The Plays: A Children's Edition, a stunning illustrated edition published in collaboration with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, celebrating the 400th anniversary of one of the greatest literary works ever created. This remarkable gift book is a treasure that children and families will cherish for generations.
This beautifully crafted edition features luminous and detailed artwork by Emily Sutton, bringing to life all 36 of Shakespeare's iconic plays in a format designed especially for young readers. The original dramatic language is preserved, yet the plays have been thoughtfully abridged to allow for performance by a minimum of eight children in under twenty minutes, making it a perfect introduction to the Bard's timeless stories.
As Greg Jenner from "You're Dead to Me" notes, "What a lovely treasure! A wonderful introduction to Shakespeare's timeless plays." This edition not only celebrates the brilliance of Shakespeare but also aims to cultivate a new generation of literature enthusiasts.

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.’
