"These wittily illustrated stories of mishaps, hurt feelings, fondness and friendship have a transporting quality." Guardian on Bear and Bird: The Picnic and Other StoriesBear and Bird are best friends! And while they don't always understand each other, they both agree: all they want is to make the other happy. So, when Bird feels poorly, Bear arrives with a backpack of goodies to make her feel better. And when they hang out with Mole - who tells absolutely hilarious jokes! - Bird realizes she doesn't need to compete for Bear's attention; that there is lots of laughter to go around... Full of comic mix-ups and misunderstandings, as well as genuine warmth and affection, these four stories are the third instalment in an irresistibly charming chapter book series from award-winning creator Jarvis. "Bear and Bird has all the charm and wisdom of Julian Gough and Jim Field's Rabbit and Bear series . The illustrations are glorious." Irish Independent on Bear and Bird: The Picnic and Other Stories "Jarvis's digital drawings, in beautiful colors, have an attractive handmade feel."

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.’
