Uncover the profound truth that every occurrence has its appointed time in this refreshing counter to our fast-paced world. Time, an elusive concept, encompasses the ebb and flow of life itself—from fleeting moments to expansive centuries, heartbeats to blossoming trees, and the span of human existence.

This captivating tome delves into 18 distinct temporal periods, ranging from mere minutes to over a century, illuminating the intricate tapestry of life. It explores biological processes across the spectrum, from flora and fauna to the human body. Discover that within 60 seconds, your heart pulsates over 100 times; observe a dragonfly unfurling its wings in a day; witness a bear's hibernation through the seasons; and marvel at the rich tapestry of a human life spanning more than eight decades.

Grounded in scientific fact yet imbued with poetic sensibility, this non-fiction anthology is certain to spark meaningful dialogues between parent and child. It serves as the perfect antidote to our culture of instant gratification, reminding us that patience is indeed a virtue.

Embark on a mesmerising journey through the cycles of life, from the budding of an apple tree to the growth of a rainforest over six decades. Be astounded by the myriad experiences contained within a human life, from infancy to the twilight years. This fully illustrated guide offers a step-by-step exploration of lifecycles and the intricate processes of living organisms, inviting readers to pause, observe, and wonder at the magnificent spectacle of existence.

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.’
