Meet Eepersip, a young girl with an untamed spirit. Rejecting the confines of domestic life, she flees her home, seeking freedom in nature. Her quest takes her first to the Meadow, then to the Sea, and finally to the Mountain. Her distraught parents pursue her, hoping to bring her back to safety, but Eepersip has her own plans...

This timeless tale of wildness, liberty, and the restorative power of nature has been brought back to life by Penguin. Featuring a new introduction and exquisite hand-drawn illustrations by the renowned artist Jackie Morris, The House Without Windows is a fable that resonates across generations.

'I can confidently assure any reader of The House Without Windows that they will find sheer delight. It is flawless,' declares Eleanor Farjeon, recipient of the Carnegie Medal and The Hans Christian Andersen Award.

Nick Drake praises, 'Beautifully enhanced by Jackie Morris's evocative art, this work possesses an otherworldly strength, particularly relevant in our current perplexing times.'

Xinran, author of The Good Women of China, hails it as 'A classic, as extraordinary and awe-inspiring as its creator.'

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.’
