Sarah Perry’s The Essex Serpent was Waterstones Book of the Year 2016, a no. 1 Sunday Times bestseller and won Books Are My Bag’s Beautiful Book of the Year award for its intricate William Morris inspired cover.
Set in Victorian England, Sarah Perry’s novel follows a young widow as she moves from London to Essex with her son in search of a mythical beast, the Essex Serpent. The Times called it ‘the most memorable historical novel in a decade’, and Sarah Waters ‘a novel of great intelligence and charm’.
