Description

Between the Salt and the ASH: A Journey into the Soul of Northumbria by Jake Morris-Campbell is an evocative exploration into the heart of a complex and storied region. This compelling narrative unfolds as the author embarks on a pilgrimage through his homeland, ignited by the inheritance of a miner's safety lamp once belonging to his great-grandfather.

This remarkable journey spans iconic locations, including:

  • The Holy Island of Lindisfarne
  • The majestic Durham Cathedral

As Morris-Campbell seeks to unearth new perspectives, he delves into Northumbria's rich, multifaceted history. This region, steeped in early Christianity, bears a legacy shaped by industry and class. With an uncertain future ahead, Northumbria remains a uniquely beautiful landscape imbued with deep cultural significance.

Discover the shifting identities of the region over the last thirteen centuries. Engage with the stories of local people and uncover the culture often overshadowed by the ‘left behind’ narrative. Experience a poignant reflection on the author’s own evolution as a writer amidst this vibrant tapestry of history.

Awarded for its insightful storytelling and rich prose, Between the Salt and the ASH challenges preconceived notions about the North East. It celebrates the resilience and heritage of both the land and its people, inviting readers to reflect on what the North East can teach us about identity, faith, and belonging.

Join Jake Morris-Campbell on this unforgettable pilgrimage and explore a region that continues to shape the English identity through its past and present.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
