Anima: A Wild Pastoral by Kapka Kassabova is a mesmerizing journey that transcends the ordinary. Acclaimed as 'A classic in the making for our times' by Monique Roffey, this spellbinding narrative has captivated readers with its profound insights into the lives of nomadic pastoralists in Europe.

In this award-winning work, Kassabova shares her summer spent among these unique communities, painting a gripping portrayal of their deep interdependence with animals and the natural world. The prose has been celebrated as 'haunting' and 'beautiful' by Cal Flyn, who notes, 'Anima will live with me for a long time.'

Dive into the evocative world of pastoral life through compelling and intimate observations. Key features of Anima: A Wild Pastoral include:

  • Intimate Observations: Firsthand accounts capturing the seasonal migration of vast herds of sheep, highlighting the intricacies of transhumance.
  • Rich Histories: Engaging tales that illuminate the cultural tapestry of the Balkan region and the shepherds' lives.
  • Connection to Nature: A poignant plea for reimagining our relationship with the environment, encouraging readers to consider sustainable living.

Through her extraordinary portrayal, Kassabova conjures the spirit of this remarkable place and urges us to reflect on our own ties to nature. With empathy and depth, Anima stands as a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, inviting us toward a more harmonious existence.

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.’
