Spring, in all its phases, possesses a vitality that draws us into the natural world. 'Spring Unfurled' marks the commencement of an exquisite seasonal quartet by the esteemed printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding.
Harding muses, "The changing seasons have always been a wellspring of inspiration for my art. I'm captivated by the shifting light that ushers in new hues and aromas. Nature's timepiece, the seasons, beckons birds from far-flung shores to nest and breed in our gardens. It's a challenge to pinpoint precisely when one season yields to another; the transitions are often erratic rather than gradual. The seasons pay no heed to the arbitrary dates inscribed in our calendars. Spring, more than any other season, embodies this capricious nature."
This compact series guides readers through the seasonal metamorphosis, mirroring Angela's perspective as the natural world around her transforms over the months. Spanning diverse landscapes across the UK, from vistas outside her Rutland studio to the untamed Scottish wilderness, via Suffolk's low-lying marshes and Yorkshire's windswept hills, the enchanting illustrations and evocative prose render this tome a treasure for both nature enthusiasts and art aficionados alike.
Showcasing Angela's most cherished prints, alongside her astute observations and wellsprings of inspiration, 'Spring Unfurled', 'Summer's Hum', 'Falling into Autumn', and 'Winter's Song' form a jubilant celebration of nature and wildlife across the UK throughout the year.

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.’
