Michael Jones presents a compelling new biography of Edward of Woodstock, the eldest son of Edward III, more famously known as 'the Black Prince'. This fresh account offers a 'vivid and extremely readable' (TLS) narrative of one of medieval England's most legendary figures.

Jones chronicles the Prince's remarkable military career, from his triumphant debut at the Battle of Crécy at just sixteen years old, through his brutal campaign across Languedoc nine years later, to his crowning achievement: the capture of the French king at Poitiers in 1356. The biography also explores his role as the formidable lord of Aquitaine, governing a vast territory in southwestern France.

Praised as 'a clear-eyed and thrilling vision of the man behind the legend' by historian Dan Jones, this book paints an unforgettable portrait of a great warrior-prince. It vividly brings to life the world of chivalry and warfare in the late Middle Ages, offering readers a captivating glimpse into the life of one of history's most intriguing figures.

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.’
