A Mudlarking Year: Finding Treasure in Every Season by Lara Maiklem is a remarkable literary journey that has captivated readers and critics alike. Praised as 'a treasure trove of wisdom and historical insight' by Katherine May, this enchanting follow-up to her bestseller Mudlarking dives deep into the captivating landscape of the Thames, revealing the hidden narratives of our past.

In this immersive exploration, Maiklem shares her experiences gathered over more than twenty years of mudlarking, transforming simple excursions into epic tales of discovery. Each season provides a fresh perspective on the treasures unearthed along the river’s edge, encouraging readers to find meaning in the most unexpected places.

Throughout the year, Maiklem bravely faces the elements—from the soft glow of winter sunlight to the bright days of summer and the relentless rain. She harmonizes with nature, illustrating that solace can be found in the delicate balance between the tide and the treasures it reveals.

  • Discovering Artifacts: Unearth medieval pilgrim badges, Victorian pottery, and more, with each find telling its own unique story.
  • Historical Insights: Learn about the significance of everyday objects that have shaped London's rich tapestry.
  • A Gentle Homage: Experience a love letter to nature, history, and the art of observation.

Guided by Maiklem's warmth and curiosity, A Mudlarking Year invites readers to embark on their own journeys, revealing the secrets hidden in the city’s overlooked corners. This book resonates not only with history enthusiasts but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the world around us.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
