Crowned with the 2023 Wainwright Prize for Children's Writing on Nature & Conservation, 'Leila and the Blue Fox' is a mesmerising tale that sparkles with wonder. This extraordinary narrative, lauded by Sophie Anderson and Katya Balen, invites readers on an awe-inspiring Arctic odyssey.

Embark on a spellbinding journey with an intrepid Arctic fox, masterfully crafted by the bestselling, award-winning duo behind 'Julia and the Shark'. This exquisite hardback edition, adorned with striking blue and black illustrations and delicate tracing paper inserts, makes for a splendid gift for readers aged 9 and above who relished 'The Last Bear' and 'A Wolf Called Wander'.

As Fox awakens and sets forth, she traverses a vast and untamed wilderness. From ice-capped mountains to frozen oceans, she encounters magnificent wildlife under the ceaseless Arctic summer sun. Concurrently, young Leila embarks on her own quest to find her long-lost mother. Their paths intertwine in an emotional voyage of self-discovery and reunion, guided by the unwavering spirit of a determined little fox.

Inspired by the remarkable true story of an Arctic fox who trekked 2,000 miles from Norway to Canada in just 76 days, this poignant and beautifully illustrated narrative is a treasure for readers aged 9 and above.

For those who cherished 'Julia and the Shark', prepare for another literary gem. Praised for its depth, beauty, and authenticity by luminaries such as Eoin Colfer and Jacqueline Wilson, Tom de Freston's latest work promises to be a timeless classic, harmoniously blending text and illustrations in a truly captivating tale.

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.’
