Leila and the Blue Fox: Winner of the Wainwright Children's Prize 2023 invites young readers into a fantastical Arctic world, where adventure and emotion intertwine in a breathtaking narrative. Crafted by the acclaimed duo behind 'Julia and the Shark', this stunning hardback edition promises to captivate ages 9 and up.

Join Fox, an intrepid Arctic traveler, as she navigates a vast wilderness filled with ice-capped mountains and frozen oceans, all bathed in the enchanting glow of the Arctic summer sun. Alongside her, young Leila embarks on a heartfelt quest to reunite with her long-lost mother, their journeys converging through the relentless spirit of an adventurous little fox.

This award-winning story is inspired by the incredible true tale of an Arctic fox that journeyed 2,000 miles from Norway to Canada in just 76 days. With its striking blue and black illustrations, coupled with delicate tracing paper inserts, Leila and the Blue Fox is not just a book; it's a visual feast that complements the poignant narrative beautifully.

  • Stunning Visuals: Richly illustrated with captivating imagery that enhances the storytelling experience.
  • Emotional Depth: A touching tale of self-discovery and the bonds of family.

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.’
