Birds as Individuals, authored by the insightful Len Howard, takes you on an extraordinary journey through the enchanting world of Britain's garden birds. Set in the 1930s, this captivating narrative welcomes readers into Bird Cottage, Howard's humble abode in Sussex, where a vibrant community of feathered friends flourished.

This engaging book transcends traditional ornithological studies, offering a profound exploration of avian personalities. Len Howard masterfully combines the keen observation of a detective with the patience of a naturalist, unraveling the complexities of bird behavior, intelligence, and emotional depth.

In Birds as Individuals, readers will discover:

  • The playful and humorous tendencies of birds such as great tits, blue tits, robins, and blackbirds.
  • The nuanced spectrum of their songs and the individual preferences that define them.
  • The unique bonds formed between these winged creatures and their human host.

Critically acclaimed, Birds as Individuals has been described as “a unique, engaging and elegant insight into the lives of our precious and magical songbirds” by Arthur Parkinson, and “a quiet revelation of attentiveness and sympathy” by Steven Lovatt, author of Birdsong in a Time of Silence.

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.’
