Description

Ingrained: The Making of a Craftsman by Callum Robinson is a heartfelt tribute to the enduring beauty of trees, timber, and the artistry of craftsmanship. This compelling narrative invites readers on a journey of self-discovery through the eyes of Callum Robinson, the son of a Master Woodworker.

From his childhood immersed in the rich scents of wood shavings to the vibrant landscapes of sycamore, oak, and Scots pine, Callum's story is filled with passion and nostalgia. As he transitions from apprentice to independent craftsman, he faces the challenges of a corporate world, only to be confronted with a devastating setback that forces him to reevaluate his ambitions.

Ingrained is not just a memoir; it’s an exploration of the beauty and significance of handcrafted furniture in an era dominated by mass production. The book highlights:

  • Reconnection with Craft: Callum rediscovers the joy of creating timeless heirlooms that celebrate nature and craftsmanship.
  • Poignant Reflection: Intricately woven themes of community, consumerism, and the splendor of the natural world are explored.
  • Nature Writing and Memoir: A unique blend that offers profound insights into the essence of manual craftsmanship.

Readers will gain a newfound appreciation for the trees around them and the wooden treasures in their lives. Ingrained not only tells a story of resilience but also emphasizes the importance of embracing our roots in a world that often leans towards disposability. Experience this beautifully crafted book that encourages a deeper connection with nature and craftsmanship.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
