Abandon not the Line, for none before thee hath dared, and neither shalt thou. Such an act would besmirch the memory of those who came before. Forsake thy place, and thy kin shall bear the burden of thy transgression. Only in matrimony may one depart, yet solely in a downward trajectory. For true love demands sacrifice, and to ascend would be to commit the gravest of sins: to skip.

Hark! The cardinal rule echoes through time: Thou Shalt Not Skip The Line.

Young Willard, alongside his mother and beloved Nyla, hath known naught but the ceaseless march of the Line. Their very existence hangs upon strict adherence to its arcane laws. But fate, that fickle mistress, intervenes when Willard's mother breathes her last. Amidst her meagre possessions, a tome of inexplicable nature comes to light, threatening to unravel the very fabric of their reality.

Niall Bourke's 'Line' is a tour de force of speculative fiction, pushing the boundaries of imagination whilst holding a mirror to our troubled times. This poignant narrative grapples with the pressing issues that plague our world: the plight of refugees, the encroachment of big data upon democracy, the looming spectre of climate change, the long shadow of colonialism, economic subjugation, societal conformity, and the zealotry of religious fanaticism. A truly elementary masterpiece, my dear reader.

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.’
