In 'The Waves', Virginia Woolf embarks on an exploration of the vast, uncertain continent that is our world and our place within it, as noted by Jeanette Winterson in her introduction. This exquisitely crafted, lyrical novel begins with six youngsters at play in a seaside garden, then follows their journey through life, chronicling their experiences of companionship, romance, and the profound grief that accompanies the loss of their dear friend Percival.

Woolf's masterful prose weaves together the inner monologues of these six characters, delving into universal themes such as identity, self-awareness, and the bonds of community. The novel's poignancy remains undiminished, resonating as powerfully today as it did upon its initial publication.

Many consider 'The Waves' to be Woolf's magnum opus, a work that not only showcases her literary prowess but also serves as a deeply personal response to the untimely death of her brother Thoby at the age of twenty-six. This Vintage Classics edition invites readers to immerse themselves in Woolf's intricate and emotionally charged narrative, offering a timeless meditation on the human experience.

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.’
