Shortlisted for the esteemed Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, Sarah Langford's 'Rooted' offers a compelling exploration of modern farming. This barrister-turned-author's journey from city life to the agricultural world unveils a landscape vastly different from her grandfather's post-war heroics in feeding a nation.

Langford's keen observations reveal farmers grappling with ecological scrutiny from urban media, extreme weather patterns, and political turbulence. Yet, amidst these challenges, she uncovers a new breed of agriculturists embarking on a path of regenerative change.

Through a tapestry of personal anecdotes and the wisdom of those who guided her farming education, Langford illuminates the human aspect of contemporary agriculture. She deftly illustrates how our connection to the land transcends mere global sustainability, intertwining with our physical and mental wellbeing, community bonds, and our relationship with the planet.

'Rooted' emerges as a raw, earthy, and inspiring narrative that not only changes one's perspective on the world but also highlights the critical importance of farming revival in these tumultuous times. It stands as a testament to the power of regenerative farming in reshaping our future.

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.’
