Fishfolk by Steven Quincey-Jones is a strikingly original tale set in the enchanting yet perilous world of the High-and-Dry, where the land is slowly succumbing to the relentless advance of the sea.

This moving fable introduces readers to twins Luna and Oona, who are raised on their Grandad Mull's captivating tales of the shape-shifting fishfolk. These mysterious beings are said to conjure storms that devastate the shore, leaving only whispers of the past. As the story unfolds, Luna’s encounter with a real fishfolk forces her to question the validity of her grandfather's spine-tingling stories, igniting a journey of self-discovery and challenging long-held beliefs.

The narrative is beautifully complemented by stunning black and white woodcut-style illustrations, which enhance the emotional depth and visual imagination of the world Quincey-Jones has created. This book is not just a story; it's an exploration of family, mythology, and the powerful connections between generations.

  • Genre: Contemporary Fable
  • Illustrations: Black and White Woodcut Style
  • Target Audience: Children and Young Adults

Recognized for its poignant storytelling and artistic merit, Fishfolk is a timeless addition to any child's bookshelf. It invites readers to ponder important themes of loss, acceptance, and the magic that lies beneath our everyday narratives.

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.’
