Tom Mustill, a wildlife filmmaker with a fondness for whales, found his life irrevocably altered when a colossal cetacean nearly ended it by breaching onto his kayak. This brush with mortality sparked an obsession that led to an extraordinary voyage of discovery.

In this captivating narrative, Mustill plunges into the depths of marine science and animal communication, exploring the cutting-edge research that aims to decipher the language of these magnificent creatures. With the precision of a detective and the wonder of a naturalist, he poses the tantalising question: what would it take to converse with a whale? And are we prepared for their potential revelations?

This book is a masterful blend of personal adventure and scientific inquiry, offering readers a glimpse into a future where human-animal communication might transcend the realms of imagination. Mustill's journey is not merely about understanding whales, but about expanding our perception of language and consciousness across species.

Praised by luminaries such as Greta Thunberg, Merlin Sheldrake, and George Monbiot, 'How to Speak Whale' is hailed as a must-read by New Scientist. It promises to be an enthralling, brilliant, and deeply humane exploration that will challenge your understanding of what it means to be alive and communicative in our vast, interconnected world.

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.’
