Spring Cannot be Cancelled: David Hockney in Normandy is a remarkable exploration of creativity and resilience by the celebrated artist David Hockney. This captivating Sunday Times Bestseller invites readers to journey into Hockney’s reflective world as he navigates the challenges of lockdown amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Normandy.
In this insightful work, Hockney contemplates art, nature, and the passage of time, all while finding solace in the rustic charm of La Grande Cour—a centuries-old farmhouse that serves as a refuge for his renewed artistic vision. As he embraces his eightieth year, this setting becomes a springboard for his creativity during uncertain times.
Featuring an engaging dialogue with art critic Martin Gayford, Spring Cannot be Cancelled showcases:
Acclaimed by major publications like The Guardian and The Times, Spring Cannot be Cancelled stands as an uplifting manifesto on art's capacity to inspire and uplift amid chaos. With its rich narrative and profound artistic insights, this book is essential for anyone wishing to view the beauty of life through the lens of one of today’s most influential artists.

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.’
