The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by acclaimed authors David Graeber and David Wengrow is a thought-provoking exploration that redefines our understanding of human history. This New York Times Bestseller and finalist for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2022 is essential reading for anyone interested in uncovering the truth about our past.
In this groundbreaking book, Graeber and Wengrow challenge long-held misconceptions surrounding our ancestors, who have often been depicted as either simple or savage. They compellingly argue that civilization does not necessitate the forfeiture of our freedoms or the dominance of our instincts. By weaving together innovative research in archaeology and anthropology, The Dawn of Everything reveals:
This transformative work not only reshapes our perspective on history but also inspires a vision of new possibilities for freedom and societal structure. With accolades like "an exhilarating read" from The Guardian and "an intellectual feast" from Nassim Nicholas Taleb, it is hailed as a monumental contribution to contemporary thought.
Embark on a fascinating journey through time with The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity and explore a fresh and dynamic perspective on our past, revealing the potential it holds for our future.

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.’
