Chloe Dalton's 'Raising Hare' has taken the literary world by storm, swiftly becoming a Sunday Times bestseller and garnering accolades from the likes of Angelina Jolie, Matt Haig, and Tracy Chevalier. This captivating tale, shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2024, has been lauded as a top read by numerous prestigious publications and the Hay Festival.

Picture, if you will, a scenario most extraordinary: a tiny leveret, no larger than one's palm, bottle-fed and nurtured within the confines of a human abode. Envision this creature, two years hence, still answering to your call and seeking solace in your dwelling. Such was the remarkable experience of our author.

When the global pandemic compelled Chloe to retreat from urban life to her rural roots, she scarcely anticipated becoming the guardian of a newborn hare. Yet, upon discovering this vulnerable creature, she felt duty-bound to ensure its survival. 'Raising Hare' chronicles their shared odyssey, detailing the trials of rearing the leveret and preparing it for its inevitable return to its natural habitat.

This narrative offers a window into an extraordinary bond between human and beast, reigniting our sense of wonder at the natural world. It serves as a poignant reminder that the most profound and hope-inspiring experiences often materialise when we least anticipate them.

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.’
