This compelling anthology presents 50 of the most intriguing and rebellious characters from global folklore.

In Rebel Folklore, readers are taken on a captivating journey through the lives of misunderstood misfits—cunning witches, roguish outlaws, and vengeful spirits—whose stories reflect the struggles and defiance against societal norms. Each tale serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing one's identity and challenging the status quo.

  • Explore Iconic Figures: Meet characters like Muma Padurii, the guardian of the Romanian forest, and the notorious Robin Hood, who epitomizes the fight for justice.
  • Reflect on Societal Norms: Gain insights into how these complex figures mirror the cultures and eras that birthed them.
  • Celebrate Defiance: Each narrative encourages readers to embrace their quirks and live authentically, even when faced with societal backlash.

With masterful storytelling and rich cultural significance, Rebel Folklore invites readers to reconsider the outcasts of history and find inspiration in their tales. This book is not just a collection of stories; it’s an essential read for those who dare to question the norms and seek kinship with the misfits of myth and legend.

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.’
