In Anthony Trollope's 'The Warden', part of The Penguin English Library, we delve into a tranquil cathedral town thrust into turmoil. This astute, satirical tale follows Septimus Harding, whose peaceful existence is upended when his traditional values come under fire from overzealous reformers and unscrupulous newspapers.

Trollope masterfully weaves a narrative that pits personal integrity against worldly ambition, crafting a gripping drama of conscience. Through his vivid portrayal of Barsetshire—a fictional county brimming with remarkably realised characters—Trollope cements his reputation as one of the finest chroniclers of Victorian England's intricacies.

'The Warden' marks the inaugural instalment in the Chronicles of Barsetshire, setting the stage for Trollope's celebrated series. This edition forms part of The Penguin English Library's curated collection of 100 exemplary works of English fiction, spanning from the dawn of the novel in the 18th century to the eve of the First World War.

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.’
