Delve into a captivating exploration of the British Isles' natural rhythms with this extraordinary tome. Inspired by an ancient Japanese almanac that parcels the year into brief intervals, "Nature's Calendar" unveils 72 distinct seasons as they unfold across our verdant lands. From the first tender snowdrops piercing the January frost to the stark beauty of leafless trees silhouetted against wintry skies, each ephemeral season is distilled into a quintessential natural phenomenon.

With the keen eye of a detective and the lyrical prose of a poet, Kiera Chapman guides readers through a tapestry of budding plants, melodious birdsong, and gossamer webs adorned with morning dew. This isn't merely a book; it's a portal to the subtle wonders that surround us, often overlooked in our hurried lives.

Drawing upon a rich blend of folklore, time-honoured traditions, herbal lore, and meticulous natural history, "Nature's Calendar" is a treasure to be cherished and revisited. It serves as both a delightful gift and a personal companion, encouraging readers to embark on their own journey of discovery. Through its pages, you'll cultivate a deeper appreciation for nature's perpetual dance of flourishing, fading, and rebirth throughout the ever-turning wheel of the year.

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.’
