Prepare yourself for a captivating journey into the mysterious world of hedgehogs, dear reader. Tom Moorhouse's 'Ghosts in the Hedgerow' presents a most peculiar case: the untimely demise of our beloved spiny friends. With wit as sharp as a hedgehog's quills, Moorhouse dons his deerstalker and sets out to unravel this prickly conundrum.

Who, pray tell, could harbour ill will towards these charming creatures? Is it the motorist, the badger, the agriculturalist, or perhaps the green-fingered enthusiast? Despite their consistent popularity in public opinion, hedgehog numbers have plummeted by half in a mere two decades. Our intrepid investigator examines the evidence with meticulous care, determined to bring the culprits to justice and prevent further hedgehog homicide.

As Moorhouse delves deeper into this spine-tingling tale, he uncovers a narrative rife with unexpected twists and uncomfortable truths about the delicate balance between human progress and wildlife preservation. Yet, fear not, for our astute detective may have stumbled upon a solution to this most vexing case.

Praised by esteemed naturalists and authors alike, 'Ghosts in the Hedgerow' is a triumph of investigative prowess, blending humour and heartbreak in equal measure. It is, without doubt, an essential addition to any discerning reader's collection of nature literature.

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.’
