My Dog is a beautifully crafted tale that celebrates the unique bond between a boy and his four-legged companion. This heartfelt story, from a talented vendor, captures the essence of friendship, resilience, and the journey of self-discovery.

In this moving narrative, ten-year-old Rhys's life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a lost black Labrador, aptly named Worthington. With soulful eyes and soft ears, Worthington becomes more than just a pet; he is a source of comfort as Rhys grapples with the challenges of moving to London and living with his estranged father, who has little love for dogs.

Emotional Depth: "My Dog" is a life-affirming story praised for its tender and heartfelt moments, resonating with readers of all ages. Rhys's struggle to keep Worthington a secret leads him to confront his fears and explore profound themes of acceptance and love.

  • Stunning Writing: Noted for its phenomenally moving prose, this book reminds us of the importance of embracing the present while cherishing the past.
  • Endorsements: Praised by authors like Hannah Gold, who describes it as "incredibly moving," and Nizrana Farook, who highlights its themes of hope.

"My Dog" is an essential read for fans of heartfelt literature. Its engaging storytelling will linger in your mind long after the last page is turned, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

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.’
