A groundbreaking anthology that promises to reshape the landscape of nature writing. 'Moving Mountains' brings together twenty-five extraordinary pieces penned by authors living with chronic illness and physical disability, offering a fresh and captivating perspective on the natural world.
From the microscopic to the vast, these writers present nature in its entirety, capturing the essence of a single raindrop and the majesty of the north wind with equal precision. This collection isn't about conquering nature or overcoming limitations, but rather about forging deep connections and appreciating the often-overlooked details that able-bodied individuals might miss.
Featuring a diverse array of contributors, including Isobel Anderson, Kerri Andrews, and Polly Atkin, this anthology invites readers to experience the environment through a unique lens. With a foreword by Samantha Walton, 'Moving Mountains' challenges conventional narratives and presents a compelling, dynamic, and powerful exploration of nature writing.
Described as 'uniquely compelling' by Lucy Jones and 'deeply affecting' by Tom Shakespeare, this collection is set to become a treasured addition to the genre. It offers a nuanced and intimate portrayal of nature, encouraging readers to shift their attention to the intricate details that make our world so fascinating.

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.’
