On The Origin of Species by Sabina Radeva is the first-ever picture-book retelling of Charles Darwin's iconic work, designed to captivate both young readers and adults alike.
This beautifully illustrated volume invites you to explore the groundbreaking theories that transformed our understanding of evolution. With the enchanting opening line, "A long, long time ago, before humans even existed," the book gently introduces readers to a world that was radically different and reveals the evolutionary processes that shaped life as we know it today.
Through vivid illustrations and clear, engaging text, Radeva skillfully conveys Darwin's observations from his worldwide travels. Here’s what makes On The Origin of Species an essential addition to any library:
Emma Darwin praises Radeva's work, stating it is "a very important project, most beautifully realised," highlighting the clarity, humor, and charm woven throughout.
Whether you're a lifelong learner or a curious child, this picture-book retelling of On The Origin of Species promises to spark fascination and ignite discussions about the wonders of evolution.

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.’
