Delve into the enigmatic world of Britain's pagan heritage, where ancient monuments, atmospheric sites, and cryptic artefacts weave a tapestry of intrigue and mystery. Ronald Hutton's comprehensive tome, 'Pagan Britain', offers a captivating journey through the annals of pre-Christian belief, from its Palaeolithic origins to its eventual suppression and enduring cultural impact.

Drawing upon a wealth of recent archaeological discoveries, Hutton deftly reconstructs our understanding of ritual and faith in Britain before the advent of organised religion. His narrative traverses the length and breadth of the British Isles, from iconic locations such as Stonehenge and Avebury to lesser-known coastal enclaves, each site a piece in the complex puzzle of pagan practice.

With the tenacity of a detective and the insight of a scholar, Hutton unravels the 'why' behind pagan behaviour, offering fresh perspectives on age-old questions. His meticulous research and original interpretations shed new light on Britain's deep past, presenting a thoroughly modern exploration of an ancient world that continues to captivate our imagination.

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.’
