Discover the magic of nature with Fox: A Circle of Life Story by Isabel Thomas, a beautifully illustrated journey that captivates young minds. This enchanting tale gently guides children through the profound themes of life and death, all set against a stunningly depicted frost-covered forest in spring.
In this heartfelt story, readers follow a mother fox as she lovingly forages for food to nurture her three curious cubs. As the cubs grow, they embark on essential lessons in survival, fostering a deep connection with the natural world that resonates with both children and parents alike. The narrative thoughtfully introduces the concept of mortality, illustrating how the passage of the mother fox becomes a natural and inspiring aspect of life.
Isabel Thomas, celebrated for her previous work Moth: An Evolution Story, continues to inspire with her ability to weave tales of adaptation and hope. Fox: A Circle of Life Story serves as a gentle reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things and the inherent beauty in every stage of existence.

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.’
