In the heady years between the two World Wars, a group of five remarkable women writers converged on London's Mecklenburgh Square, seeking new freedoms and forging their own daring literary paths. Francesca Wade's captivating 'Square Haunting' brings to vivid life the interwoven stories of Virginia Woolf, H.D., Dorothy L. Sayers, Jane Harrison and Eileen Power - trailblazers who pushed boundaries in literature, scholarship and social norms. With rich period detail and keen insight, Wade illuminates the struggles, passions and profound achievements of these luminaries who found inspiration and solace in their eccentric Bloomsbury surroundings.

Francesca Wade is a British writer and literary scholar whose work has appeared in publications like the London Review of Books and Times Literary Supplement. 'Square Haunting' is her acclaimed debut book, drawing from deep archival research to create an intimate and nuanced portrait of five fascinating literary figures. Wade's sensitive and evocative storytelling shines a light on the remarkable lives of these pioneering women and the pivotal era that shaped them.

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.’
