Land Healer: How Farming Can Save Britain’s Countryside by renowned conservationist Jake Fiennes is a transformative exploration of the relationship between agriculture and ecology. As the Conservation Manager at Holkham estate, Fiennes presents a compelling narrative that bridges the gap between innovative farming and natural preservation.

This insightful book takes readers on a journey through 25,000 acres of Norfolk wilderness, demonstrating how sustainable farming techniques can rejuvenate both crop yields and biodiversity. Fiennes’s mission is crystal clear: restoring the delicate balance of our ecosystem while addressing the challenges posed by industrial farming.

In Land Healer, you will discover:

  • The harsh realities of ecological decline over the past century.
  • How wetlands, hedgerows, and native wildlife can thrive through responsible farming practices.
  • Insights into the farming calendar that emphasize seasonal rhythms of conservation.

More than just a recounting of Fiennes's efforts, this book serves as a vital manifesto, urging readers to reflect on our connection with the natural world. It encourages a vision for a future where farming acts as a catalyst for environmental restoration rather than degradation.

With its blend of science, history, and personal reflection, Land Healer: How Farming Can Save Britain’s Countryside resonates deeply with anyone passionate about environmental issues, agriculture, or conservation. Join the movement to rejuvenate Britain's countryside and explore the immense potential of farming to heal our planet.

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.’
