Night Walk by acclaimed author-illustrator Jason Cockcroft is a poignant tale that invites readers into a world of memory and nature. This beautifully crafted picture book captures the heartwarming journey of a young boy and his grandfather as they retrace the cherished route of the boy's late grandmother during a dawn expedition.
With each turn of the page, readers are mesmerized by Cockcroft's exquisite illustrations and masterful prose, bringing to life the awe-inspiring landscape they traverse. The duo encounters a lively array of wildlife—from sprightly amphibians to graceful deer—each one wondering if they’ve stumbled upon Grandma's most treasured spot.
As the pair reaches their destination—the spot where Grandma once greeted the rising sun—the narrative encourages reflection on the power of memories and the solace found in the natural world. 'Night Walk' serves as a testament to the bonds that transcend time and the healing embrace of nature's beauty. This remarkable picture book is a must-have addition to any collection, enriching the experience of both young and old.

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.’
