Tim Pears, the acclaimed author of In the Place of Fallen Leaves, presents a mesmerising pastoral tale set in the Devon-Somerset borderlands of 1911. This enchanting novel, reminiscent of Thomas Hardy's works, weaves a tapestry of rural life and unexpected friendship.

In a secluded valley, where the rhythms of nature dictate the passage of time, we meet twelve-year-old Leopold Sercombe. A slight, pallid lad, Leo eschews his studies to assist his father, a carter, whilst harbouring dreams of employment at the local estate's stud farm. Fate intervenes when, whilst breaking in a colt, Leo encounters a curiously attired stranger who proves to be none other than Miss Charlotte, daughter of the estate's Master.

Thus begins an extraordinary bond between two children from vastly different worlds, united by their profound love of horses. As they approach the cusp of adolescence, however, the rigid social structures of Edwardian England threaten to drive a wedge between them. Pears masterfully explores the tension between friendship and societal expectations in this captivating first instalment of The West Country Trilogy.

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.’
