Corvids, those captivating avian creatures, loom large in our collective consciousness. From the ravens guarding the Tower of London to the rooks adorning heraldic banners, these birds have woven themselves into the fabric of human culture. We spy crows amongst the stars and doff our caps to lone magpies, ever mindful of their portentous presence.

In this exquisitely crafted tome, Angus Hyland delves into the rich tapestry of corvid lore, from ancient Norse sagas to the realms of Westeros. The pages are adorned with haunting photographs and paintings, each capturing the essence of these enigmatic birds. Alongside these visual delights, you'll find a treasure trove of literary homages and scientific insights, illuminating the traits that have long fascinated our species.

As you leaf through 'The Book of the Raven: Corvids in Art and Legend', you'll discover how these clever creatures mirror our own behaviour. They are at once tricksters and thieves, yet also brilliant problem-solvers and benevolent gift-givers. This duality has cemented their place in our stories, our art, and our hearts, making this volume an essential addition to any curious reader's library.

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.’
