A Practical Present for Philippa Pheasant, crafted by the talented Briony May Smith, invites readers into a whimsical world filled with adventure and heart. Join Philippa, a determined pheasant, as she navigates the enchanting woods near Fairhurst village on a quest for safety and camaraderie.

In this captivating story, Philippa faces the daily dangers of crossing the treacherous Old Oak Road, where the threat of speeding cars looms large. This brave little bird, tired of risking her life, decides to make a difference, not just for herself but for all her forest friends.

During her journey, Philippa encounters a tall lady in a bright yellow uniform who confidently stops traffic. This moment ignites a spark in Philippa's clever mind—what if she could don a vibrant outfit and wield a little lollipop stick to guide her fellow critters to safety?

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.’
