Hailed as a Sunday Times bestseller, this visionary work by Caroline Lucas delves into the heart of Englishness, challenging the notion that it belongs solely to Brexit supporters and imperial nostalgists. With deft prose and poetic flair, Lucas uncovers an alternative England—one that's progressive, inclusive, and hidden in plain sight.

Through a masterful exploration of England's literary heritage, Lucas weaves together a tapestry of diverse narratives that paint a more nuanced picture of national identity. This fresh perspective offers a blueprint for a greener, fairer future that all can embrace.

Praised by luminaries such as Philip Pullman and George Monbiot, 'Another England' is more than just an inspiring and erudite tome—it's a clarion call for change. Lucas cleverly employs the works of Gaskell, Clare, and Dickens to demonstrate that a culture can be both diverse and coherent, innovative yet rooted in tradition.

This warm and persuasive book confronts readers with the possibility of a decent, saner England—one that could emerge from a transformed political and social landscape. It sets out a progressive vision of land, place, and nation, offering a glimmer of hope in these turbulent times.

'Another England' is not merely an engaging read; it's a necessary one for those seeking to reclaim and redefine the national story. Lucas's trailblazing work provides a vital roadmap for a more inclusive and forward-looking Englishness, making it essential reading for anyone invested in the country's future.

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.’
