Description

The Accidental Garden: Gardens, Wilderness and the Space In Between by Richard Mabey is a profound literary journey that unveils the intricate relationship between humanity and nature. This masterful exploration goes beyond traditional gardening books, blending memoir, environmental commentary, and philosophical musings to create a tapestry of insights.

In this captivating work, Mabey immerses readers in the world of his own Norfolk garden—a vibrant ecosystem where nature and cultivation harmoniously coexist. Renowned for its rare wisdom, this book has garnered acclaim from The Times and is celebrated by the New Statesman as a hallmark of UK nature writing.

Key features of The Accidental Garden include:

  • Unique Observations: Witness the unexpected wonders of nature, from ants sowing cowslip seeds to moorhens nesting in trees.
  • Inspirational Narratives: Discover how self-seeded roses and resilient flora symbolize hope amidst the challenges of our environment.
  • Reflective Insights: Engage with the profound philosophy of gardening as a collaborative effort with nature, urging a more balanced coexistence.

Richly descriptive and deeply reflective, The Accidental Garden is vintage Mabey, filled with maverick insights and an unquenchable sense of wonder. This book not only inspires your gardening journey but also deepens your appreciation for the wild beauty that thrives within our cultivated spaces. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a nature enthusiast, this book is a must-have addition to your collection, inviting you to rethink the role of gardens in our lives.

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.’
