Description

Embark on a captivating odyssey with Lost to the Sea: A Journey Round the Edges of Britain and Ireland by Lisa Woollett. This mesmerizing exploration of the coastal fringes artfully weaves archaeology, local lore, and mythical tales, creating a vivid portrait of our ever-changing shorelines.

From the mist-shrouded Isles of Scilly to the windswept cliffs of County Clare, Woollett's keen eye and lyrical prose transport readers through a tapestry of lost landscapes. In this enthralling journey, you will:

  • Discover submerged prehistoric forests in Wales
  • Unearth the secrets of medieval kingdoms
  • Wander through the ghostly remains of a Victorian pleasure park on the Isle of Wight

As you traverse this liminal realm where land meets sea, you will encounter a cast of fascinating characters, both past and present. Woollett's engaging narrative seamlessly blends historical fact with folklore, providing a unique perspective on communities shaped—and often overwhelmed—by the relentless power of the ocean.

Lost to the Sea is not just a coastal travelogue; it is a haunting ode to our enduring relationship with the sea. With meticulous research and evocative storytelling, Woollett invites readers to contemplate the profound impact of rising tides on our collective history and future. This exhilarating voyage around the British Isles will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the ever-shifting nature of our island home. Dive into this journey, and explore the edges of existence that the sea reveals.

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.’
