The Way of a Pilgrim: Candid Tales of a Wanderer to His Spiritual Father is a timeless masterpiece that invites readers into the profound spiritual journey of a humble wanderer, penned in 1884. This poignant narrative encapsulates the essence of faith and the beauty of divine grace.

At the heart of this captivating tale lies our solitary pilgrim, who embarks on an eternal quest for enlightenment armed only with a sack of stale bread and his cherished Holy Bible. As he traverses the vast landscapes of Russia, driven by a deep spiritual yearning, he encounters:

  • Mesmerizing forests and fields
  • Challenging Siberian steppes
  • An eclectic cast of characters, including priests, beggars, and nuns

Throughout his travels, the pilgrim gains profound wisdom and life lessons, enriching his understanding of solitude, prayer, and communion with the divine. These narratives echo the sentiments expressed in JD Salinger's 'Franny and Zooey,' highlighting the pilgrim's lasting impact on literature.

'The Way of a Pilgrim' serves as an invitation to embark on a spiritual odyssey alongside a character reminiscent of literary giants like Tolstoy and Leskov. As you delve into this beautifully woven tale, you will find solace in the pilgrim's contemplative journey, painting a timeless portrait of faith and resilience.

Join this transformative adventure, and explore the rich tapestry of human experience and the divine presence that permeates every step of the pilgrim's path.

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.’
