Description

Tom Chesshyre, the quintessential globetrotter, invites you to vicariously partake in his captivating escapades and misadventures. Embark on a spellbinding odyssey from London, traversing Paris, Naples, Nuremberg, the Swiss Alps, Budapest, Athens, and delving into the farthest reaches of Eastern Europe across Romania and Bulgaria, before culminating in the enchanting city of Istanbul – and back again.

Have you ever harboured a dream of abandoning the mundane and embarking on a cross-country adventure to the very edge of Asia? That's precisely what rail enthusiast Tom Chesshyre did, embarking on a 4,570-mile expedition spanning 55 rides, retracing the legendary Orient Express route. While interrailing was once the domain of young backpackers seeking self-discovery, it has evolved into a joyous and eco-friendly twenty-first-century adventure accessible to all, irrespective of age or motivation.

Navigating striking train drivers in Germany, enduring delays at the Bulgarian-Greek border, and negotiating intricate passport formalities in Turkey are all part of the exhilarating journey that unfolds in this illuminating and meandering exploration of Europe. The freedom of the rails beckons, inviting you to hop aboard and embark on an unforgettable adventure across the continent.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
