Footnotes: A Journey Round Britain in the Company of Great Writers invites you on a literary pilgrimage across the British Isles. Peter Fiennes retraces the paths of twelve revered writers from centuries past, allowing their words and worldviews to illuminate the modern landscape. From the windswept moors that inspired the Brontë sisters to the gritty streets that shaped George Orwell's unflinching social commentary, Fiennes explores how place shaped these authors' works and how their writings, in turn, captured the essence of Britain. This immersive travelogue blends literary history, insightful cultural observations, and Fiennes' own reflections, offering a fresh perspective on the indelible connection between landscape and literature.

Peter Fiennes is an acclaimed British author and editor whose works seamlessly blend travel writing with literary biography. With a scholar's curiosity and a poet's reverence for language, Fiennes invites readers on thought-provoking journeys that traverse both the physical world and the depths of the imagination.

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.’
