Lauded for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2024, this remarkable work intertwines personal narrative and natural history with exquisite prose and delicate structure. Jessica J. Lee, born to a Taiwanese mother and Welsh father in Canada, offers a unique perspective on our ever-changing world.

In 'Dispersals', Lee deftly explores the parallels between plant and human migration, scrutinising the language we employ to describe these journeys. Through a blend of personal recollections, historical accounts, and scientific inquiry, she probes the concept of belonging for both flora and fauna, unveiling the intricate connections that shape our collective futures.

This contemplative and elegant tome serves as a testament to the interconnectedness of all living things. Lee's expansive yet intimate narrative, adorned with gorgeous prose, promises to be a cherished companion for readers, inviting repeated visits and fresh insights with each perusal.

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.’
