Acclaimed with both the August Derleth and Arthur C. Clarke awards, Perdido Street Station stands as a testament to China Miéville's boundless imagination. This gripping urban fantasy thriller marks the inaugural venture into the enigmatic realm of Bas-Lag.

At the heart of this bewildering world lies New Crobuzon, a sprawling metropolis shrouded in perpetual gloom. Beneath its towering chimneys, humans and mutants alike eke out their existence alongside sluggish rivers tainted with unnatural effluent, while factories and foundries ceaselessly pound through the night. For over a millennium, a ruthless parliament and its merciless militia have held sway over a diverse populace of labourers, artists, spies, magicians, addicts, and courtesans.

The arrival of a mysterious stranger, bearing both gold and an impossible request, inadvertently unleashes an unthinkable horror upon the city. As an alien terror takes hold, the fate of millions rests precariously in the hands of a ragtag group of outcasts, pursued relentlessly by both the law and the criminal underworld.

The city's shadowy corners and bizarre architectural wonders become a treacherous hunting ground, with battles raging amidst the peculiar structures. An inevitable reckoning looms at the city's core, within the vast edifice of Perdido Street Station itself. Escape, it seems, is no longer an option.

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.’
