Hailed as "one of the most influential books about the natural world ever published" by Paul Kingsnorth of The Guardian, Aldo Leopold's seminal work of ecological thought, A Sand County Almanac, commences with the profound statement: "There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot." This book encompasses a lyrical chronicle of the shifting seasons over a year on Leopold's Wisconsin farm, as well as his groundbreaking concept of a 'land ethic' – a moral equilibrium between humans and all other forms of life on Earth. A Sand County Almanac transformed perceptions of the natural world and played a pivotal role in birthing the modern conservation movement.

As The New York Times aptly describes it, the book stands as "an unequivocal statement of conscience that will carry down the generations... his argument seems more urgently true now than ever." Leopold's masterpiece, A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There, remains a timeless and influential work that continues to resonate deeply with readers and environmentalists alike.

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.’
