Hailed as a 'monumental' and 'magisterial' work by acclaimed scholars, this remarkable and erudite book offers an authoritative guide to the countless ways in which Greek words and ideas have shaped the modern world. With highly readable prose, it takes readers on a captivating journey from the archaeological treasures and mythological tales of the Bronze Age Aegean, through the groundbreaking inventions of the alphabet, philosophy, and science, to the contemporary politics of the European Union.

Penned by Professor Roderick Beaton, 'The Greeks: A Global History' is an epic and revelatory account of the Greek-speaking people and their global impact, chronicling the merging and multiplying of cultures, and their adaptation to catastrophic change. It is a story of reinvention, a sweeping narrative that unveils the enduring legacy of the Greeks and their profound influence on the world as we know it today.

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.’
