Experience the enchanting world of nature with Meadowland: The Private Life of an English Field by acclaimed author John Lewis-Stempel, hailed by The Times as 'Britain's finest living nature writer'. This award-winning masterpiece offers readers an unparalleled glimpse into the lush, secretive realm of an English meadow.

In this exquisite narrative, Lewis-Stempel employs the keen observation of a detective combined with the eloquence of a poet to unveil the hidden wonders of a seemingly ordinary field. Throughout the seasons, he chronicles the vibrant life that thrives within its long grass:

  • Spring: Witness the emergence of beautiful cowslips.
  • Summer: Experience the rhythmic dance of hay-cutting.
  • Autumn: Observe the gentle grazing of wildlife.

This is not just a calendar of events; rather, it is a profound exploration of the meadow's inhabitants. From the industrious badger clan to the cunning fox family and the melodious skylark brood, Lewis-Stempel weaves their tales of birth, life, and death into a rich tapestry of natural history.

Prepare to be captivated as you traverse through the seasons with Lewis-Stempel’s exquisite prose. Meadowland transports you into a world where the extraordinary exists within the ordinary, revealing the magic that lies just beneath our feet. Dive into this intimate exploration and discover the secrets of an English field that beckon to be unveiled.

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.’
