In a post-glacial melt New York City, young Nonie possesses an extraordinary connection to water. She and her family, along with a group of researchers, have established a settlement atop the American Museum of Natural History in the near-abandoned metropolis. Their mission: to preserve humanity's scientific and cultural legacy whilst foraging for sustenance in Central Park.

When a catastrophic storm overwhelms the city's defences, Nonie and her kin must embark on a perilous northward journey along the Hudson River. They carry with them a tome containing records of the museum's lost collections, determined to honour their duty as custodians of human knowledge.

As they navigate the treacherous waters, they encounter diverse communities, each adapting to the new world order in unique—and sometimes alarming—ways. Yet, Nonie and her family remain resolute in their quest to forge a future that preserves the essence of what they've salvaged.

Drawing inspiration from the valiant efforts of curators in war-torn Iraq and Leningrad, 'All the Water in the World' is a gripping tale of survival, adventure, and the indomitable human spirit. It masterfully blends elements of classic children's literature with dystopian themes, offering a ray of hope that the most vital aspects of humanity—love, community, knowledge, and perseverance—will endure even in the face of global upheaval.

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.’
