Crowned with the Wainwright Prize for Nature and Conservation Writing for Children 2022, this extraordinary tome invites you to encounter the colossal, bumbling mega human—a behemoth that embodies the collective hopes of our species.
Picture, if you will, the staggering sum of eight billion souls, each one respiring, consuming, fidgeting, and pondering life's great mysteries. A number so vast it defies comprehension—or does it? Through a daring feat of imaginative fusion (not to be attempted in one's sitting room), the mega human emerges as the amalgamation of every person on Earth.
Though not the sharpest tool in the shed, this gargantuan being is gradually awakening to the predicaments it has wrought upon our blue marble's future. More importantly, it's beginning to fathom how it might set things right.
Employing mind-bending statistics and the arcane art of smoosh theory, "The Biggest Footprint" embarks on a journey of self-discovery tailored for every individual who lays claim to the human condition. It's an elementary deduction, my dear reader: this book is simply too intriguing to pass up.

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.’
