Prepare to have your perception of European civilisation utterly transformed by Graham Robb's 'The Ancient Paths'. An accidental discovery led Robb down a rabbit hole of Celtic lore, delving into their deities, artistry, and most intriguingly, their sophisticated scientific knowledge. His meticulous research unearthed something truly remarkable: a long-forgotten map revealing an empire of astounding precision and beauty, spanning vast swathes of Europe.
This cartographic marvel, lost to time for nearly two millennia, carries implications that will leave you gobsmacked. With painstaking attention to detail and a treasure trove of revelations, 'The Ancient Paths' breathes new life into centuries of distant history, offering a fresh interpretation of pre-Roman Europe. Robb's signature grace and vivacity shine through in this captivating, unforgettable tome that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about our ancient past.

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.’
