Lauded by Waterstones and The Times as a top pick of the year, this tome has garnered praise from literary circles. The Wall Street Journal deems it 'nothing short of brilliant', whilst the Guardian hails it as 'entertaining and original'. Both the Observer and The Times concur, labelling it 'accessible and insightful' and 'highly readable' respectively.
Dr Justin Gregg invites readers on a fascinating journey into the cognitive realms of Earth's diverse fauna. From the enigmatic narwhal to the humble slug, Gregg challenges our preconceptions about human superiority. Drawing upon cutting-edge research in animal cognition and cognitive psychology, he illuminates the surprising capabilities of non-human minds, whilst simultaneously exposing the limitations of our own species' intellect.
This captivating exploration promises to be mind-expanding, humbling, and delightfully humorous. 'If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal' will fundamentally alter your perspective on animals, humanity, and indeed, the very essence of existence. As the Financial Times notes, it 'provides real insight into how we think', while the New Statesman commends its wit and instructive nature.

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.’
