Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: exquisite pocket-sized editions of timeless literary gems. These miniature marvels, featuring short stories, novellas, and essays from the world's most celebrated writers, boast stunning designs by the acclaimed Coralie Bickford-Smith.
Virginia Woolf, the literary sleuth, embarks on a captivating expedition through London's bustling streets. Her mission? To procure a simple pencil. But this seemingly mundane errand transforms into a mesmerising exploration of urban life, best savoured on a crisp winter's evening when the air sparkles like champagne and the streets hum with convivial energy.
Woolf's keen observations paint a vivid tableau of the city's denizens and locales, her prose a delightful ode to metropolitan existence. This volume also presents other literary treasures, including the thought-provoking 'How Should One Read a Book?' and the enigmatic 'The Sun and the Fish'.
Prepare to be enthralled by the words of a true literary luminary, hailed by The Guardian as 'one of the great writers of the twentieth century'. This pocket-sized tome promises to be your faithful companion on many an intellectual adventure.

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.’
