SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE

Venture into the heart of Britain's wild places with Kat Hill's 'Bothy: In Search of Simple Shelter'. These remote mountain huts, always unlocked and devoid of modern conveniences, beckon to those seeking solace in nature's embrace.

With the keen eye of a historian and the spirit of an intrepid rambler, Hill embarks on a captivating odyssey across the UK's rugged landscapes. She unravels the rich tapestry of bothy history, weaving together tales of past and present wanderers with her own journey of personal transformation.

From a spartan shelter in Scotland's far-flung military grounds to a whimsical Welsh cottage, Hill's prose crackles with warmth, wit, and an infectious zest for adventure. She deftly explores the delicate balance between preserving nature's sanctuaries and sharing their magic with kindred spirits.

This stirring narrative will resonate with anyone who has ever yearned to escape the mundane and lose themselves in the wild. Hill's 'Bothy' is more than a travelogue; it's an invitation to step inside and discover the transformative power of simple shelter.

As Adam Nicolson notes, 'The bothy embrace is addictive', while Cal Flyn promises it 'will have you reaching for your boots'. Prepare to be enthralled by this erudite and evocative exploration of Britain's hidden wilderness retreats.

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.’
