Hailed as 'Britain's finest living nature writer' by The Times, John Lewis-Stempel invites readers on a nocturnal adventure through the British countryside. With his trademark vivid prose, lauded by The Daily Mail and The Spectator, Lewis-Stempel unveils the hidden world that emerges after dusk.

As twilight descends, the author ventures into a realm where the usual rules of nature are suspended. Here, one might exchange pleasantries with a badger or hear the haunting cry of a tawny owl echoing through bare winter trees. Despite our illuminated urban existence, the call of the wild still beckons those brave enough to venture out after nightfall.

In 'Nightwalking: Four Journeys into Britain After Dark', Lewis-Stempel guides us through four seasonal nocturnal rambles. As humans retreat indoors, a vibrant ecosystem awakens, offering a glimpse into a world typically concealed from view. Beyond the city limits, one can still marvel at star-studded skies or witness the rare spectacle of a moonbow arching across the heavens.

This captivating narrative urges readers to abandon their cosy abodes and embark on their own twilight expeditions, joining the myriad creatures that thrive in the cloak of darkness. It's an invitation to rediscover the wild night that still exists beyond our well-lit streets.

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.’
