Shortlisted for the esteemed Wainwright Prize for Conservation and lauded as a Book of the Year by the Financial Times, Waterstones, and BBC History Magazine, 'Beastly' is a riveting exploration of humanity's intricate relationship with the animal kingdom. This Next Big Idea Club must-read spans an astonishing 40,000 years, unravelling the complex tapestry of our interactions with creatures great and small.

With the precision of a detective and the flair of a storyteller, Keggie Carew delves into the annals of history, culture, and science to illuminate our evolving kinship with the natural world. From microscopic organisms to the colossal beasts that once roamed the Earth, Carew's narrative is a masterful investigation of our shared past and intertwined future.

Through a series of captivating examples and astute observations, Carew presents a compelling case: the fate of animals is inextricably linked to the health of our planet. With the urgency of a ticking clock, she argues that our ability to safeguard these creatures may well determine the course of Earth's future. 'Beastly' is not merely a chronicle of our past; it is a clarion call for action in the present.

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.’
