Step into an enchanting world with the Tom's Midnight Garden 65th Anniversary Edition, a timeless classic by Philippa Pearce. This special commemorative edition features a captivating foreword by Children’s Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce, infusing contemporary charm into this beloved tale.

Join young Tom as he embarks on an unexpected adventure during a seemingly ordinary summer spent at his aunt and uncle's house. What begins as a season of anticipated boredom transforms into a journey of wonder when the old grandfather clock strikes an impossible thirteen. Intrigued, Tom ventures out of bed only to discover a magical garden—a garden that exists solely for him.

In this mystical thirteenth hour, the garden bursts into life, revealing children whose presence blurs the boundaries between reality and the spectral. Readers are drawn into Tom’s exploration of this captivating realm, as he navigates its wonders and mysteries, raising the question: Are they real, or mere ghosts?

Celebrated for its imaginative storytelling, Tom's Midnight Garden has touched the hearts of generations and continues to inspire readers of all ages. This anniversary edition not only revisits a cherished narrative but serves as a reminder of the extraordinary magic that lies just beyond the ordinary.

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.’
