In this captivating exploration, Ian Mortimer, renowned for his 'formidable erudition' (The Times), transports readers to the vibrant and exhilarating era of Regency Britain. This period, cherished as perhaps the most beloved in British history, was a time of unbridled exuberance and scandalous behaviour.

Mortimer paints a vivid portrait of Georgian England, bringing to life the world of Jane Austen and the Romantic poets, John Constable's evocative paintings, and Humphry Repton's magnificent gardens. It was an age of remarkable contrasts, where Beethoven's thunderous Fifth Symphony could debut in the same year that Jane Austen penned the delicate nuances of Persuasion.

This meticulously researched guide illuminates an era of unprecedented freedom, sandwiched between Britain's military triumphs at Trafalgar and Waterloo, and the onset of Victorian moral constraints. Mortimer's unparalleled skill for historical immersion allows readers to experience the Regency not as a distant subject of study, but as a tangible, lived reality.

With his trademark flair for bringing the past to life, Mortimer delivers history at its most thrilling and visceral. This is the author at the pinnacle of his time-travelling prowess, offering an 'immersive and brilliant historical guide' that will captivate and enlighten in equal measure.

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.’
