A captivating fusion of nature writing and memoir that delves into the pivotal role nature plays in our emotional and mental well-being. Bats can perceive shapes through sound, plants can harness light as energy, and bees can communicate intricate maps through dance. When life's journey led Jarod K. Anderson, the poet behind The Cryptonaturalist, to a profoundly dark place, he found solace and redemption in these remarkable facts and the shift in perspective that comes from paying close attention to the natural world in a novel way. Something in the Woods Loves You chronicles the darkest period in a young person's life and how deliberate, meditative encounters with plants and animals helped them see the light at every turn. Ranging from optimistic musings on mortality to appreciations of a single mushroom, Anderson has crafted a lyrical love letter to the natural realm and provided us with the tools to see it all anew.

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.’
