Embark on a spellbinding odyssey reminiscent of Patrick Leigh Fermor and Robert Louis Stevenson's grand adventures. Louis D. Hall, a young man grappling with urban ennui, sets out to forge his own path in life. Channelling the spirit of Don Quixote, he resolves to fulfil a boyhood fantasy: to embark on an uncharted equestrian expedition.

Hall's quest begins in the Apennine Mountains of Italy, where he meets Sasha, his equine companion. Together, they set their sights on Cape Finisterre, the 'end of the land'. Woefully unprepared for the perils that await—from treacherous snowfall and raging tempests to prowling wolves—Hall soon discovers that the journey's greatest lessons come from unexpected quarters: his loyal steed and a mysterious young woman who joins their ranks.

This captivating travelogue transports readers along forgotten trails and through timeless villages, offering a glimpse into the rustic dwellings and stables of farmers and shepherds. From the Ligurian Alps to the Pyrenees, through Basque country and along the Galician coast, Hall's evocative prose paints a vivid portrait of rural Europe. A stellar debut from a promising new voice in travel literature, this book is a sumptuous exploration of life's boundless possibilities and intricate complexities.

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.’
