Step into the magical universe of I Love Books, a captivating picture book by the acclaimed illustrator Mariajo Ilustrajo, shortlisted for the prestigious Illustrator of the Year - British Book Awards 2025. This engaging tale is perfect for young adventurers, especially those who may feel reluctant about reading.

In this charming story, we follow a little girl who eagerly awaits the end of the school year, only to be overwhelmed by the challenge of reading a book during her holiday. Her initial resistance is something many children can relate to, as she firmly believes she hates books. However, her imaginative sister has a clever plan that leads them to the library, where a magical world awaits.

With the help of a whimsical fennec fox, the girl embarks on an exhilarating adventure filled with fairytale witches and mythical creatures. Together, they gather ingredients for an enchanting spell that promises to transform her experience with reading forever. Although the spell’s immediate effects remain a mystery, the little fox reveals a profound truth: the girl's imagination has been set free, changing her perspective on books for good.

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.’
