Gorse : Volume 1 invites readers into the haunting world of 1786 Cornwall, crafted by an evocative storyteller. This mesmerizing novel explores the delicate balance between human belief and the mystical, as the village of Mirecoombe stands at a pivotal juncture.
As the ancient lore of piskies and spriggans begins to fade under the fervent influence of the Reverend Cleaver, darkness looms over the moors. Nancy Bligh, a character endowed with second sight, finds herself at the center of a brewing storm. With the old Keeper, Lord Pelagius Hunt, stepping back, Nancy seizes the chance to embrace her true power, challenging the very essence of belief and identity.
This lyrical tale, already garnering critical praise, is a testament to the intricate interplay of faith and the supernatural. With its richly woven narrative and profound themes, Gorse : Volume 1 challenges us to confront our own convictions and their profound effects on our identities.
Step into a world where the old meets the new, and discover how one woman’s quest for truth can alter the fate of Mirecoombe forever.

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.’
