In the spaces between the city and the countryside, a wilderness lurks - untamed, unnoticed, and utterly captivating. "Edgelands" is a poetic exploration of these liminal landscapes, the forgotten fringes where nature reclaims her sovereignty. Paul Farley and Michael Symmons Roberts guide us on a lyrical journey through England's true wildlands, those overlooked corners where urban sprawl and rural idyll collide. With eloquent prose, they unveil the raw beauty and resilience of these in-between places, inviting us to embrace the untended, the ignored, and the gloriously unkempt.

Paul Farley is a poet and broadcaster, celebrated for his vivid evocations of the natural world. Michael Symmons Roberts, an acclaimed poet and novelist, brings his masterful command of language to this unique collaboration. Together, they weave a tapestry of words that captures the essence of England's edgelands, inviting readers to see these liminal spaces through new eyes and find wonder in the wilderness on our very doorsteps.

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.’
