"Ning and the Night Spirits" by Adriena Fong is a mesmerizing tale that beckons readers into a magical realm where mythology dances with reality beneath the gentle glow of the moon. This enchanting story captures the heart of young readers and adults alike as it follows Ning, a curious boy from a sleepy village, where vibrant orange lanterns are lit each night to ward off the enigmatic night spirits.
Ning's life is a blend of tradition and curiosity; while he respects the customs of his ancestors, a yearning to discover the truth behind the legends gnaws at him. As he assists his parents in their nightly ritual, the tales of fearsome spirits linger in his mind. However, one fateful evening, Ning’s adventurous spirit leads him deep into the forest, where he encounters a creature that reveals the hidden layers of the spirit world.
Through this captivating journey, Ning uncovers the essential themes of courage, self-discovery, and the profound power of finding one’s voice. Fong beautifully illustrates that not everything is as it seems, and that the spirits may offer more than just fright; they may hold the keys to understanding and acceptance.
Experience the wonder of "Ning and the Night Spirits"—a heartwarming adventure that will leave a lasting impression and inspire a love for storytelling.

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.’
