Prepare to be utterly enchanted by Simon Barnes' 'Spring is the Only Season', a book that has left luminaries like Stephen Fry and Kate Humble positively spellbound. This captivating exploration of the most invigorating season is as vibrant and exuberant as spring itself.

Barnes delves into the scientific underpinnings of the seasons, elucidating how our planet's 23.5-degree tilt orchestrates this annual spectacle. He masterfully weaves together the myriad ways spring has inspired humanity's greatest artistic and spiritual endeavours, from soul-stirring music to awe-inspiring paintings and poetry.

This tome is a treasure trove of riveting insights, astonishing facts, and pivotal narratives, painting a rich and multifaceted portrait of spring. Barnes illuminates how this season of renewal and rebirth breathes new life into flora and fauna alike, as they emerge from winter's harsh grip to propagate the next generation.

However, 'Spring is the Only Season' is not merely a celebration. It serves as a stark reminder of the perilous state of our beloved springtime rituals. Barnes reveals how human-induced climate change threatens to disrupt the natural rhythm of the seasons, imperilling everything from migratory birds to nascent butterflies.

Yet, all is not lost. Barnes asserts that we still have time to make a difference, to preserve the joys of spring for generations to come. This book is not just a love letter to the season; it's a clarion call to action, urging us to safeguard the delicate balance of nature before it's too late.

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.’
