Step into a mesmerising realm of dragons, giants, heroes and monsters, right on your doorstep. "Enchanting, breathtaking and beautiful... If you need me, I'll be in Storyland," raves Ben Miller about this captivating journey through Britain's mythical past.

This vividly illustrated mythology of Britain invites young readers to uncover spellbinding stories of magic and adventure, princesses and prophecies. Journey across untamed landscapes, from the northernmost reaches of Orkney to the southern tip of Cornwall, and witness history unfold before your eyes.
Join the young Merlin as he constructs Stonehenge, gallop on stags through Scottish forests, and sail alongside Trojans along Britain's rivers. Unearth a land steeped in myth, teeming with monsters and brimming with heroic tales.
This children's adaptation of Amy Jeffs' bestselling Storyland is a bewitching adventure into Britain's forgotten myths and legends. Adorned with stunning illustrations, it's the perfect tome for families to explore together, unearthing the magical origins of Britain.

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.’
