The Land of Maybe: A Faroe Islands Year by Tim Ecott is a mesmerizing literary journey that invites readers to explore the untamed beauty and rich traditions of the Faroe Islands. Renowned author Paul Theroux praises Ecott's evocative prose, highlighting its power to spark an irresistible desire to visit this unique locale.

This masterful work captures the essence of a world where nature reigns supreme, illustrating the intricate rhythms of life in a remote archipelago of 18 islands nestled in the North Atlantic. With a population of just 50,000, these islands are steeped in Viking heritage, offering a distinctive culture that differs from other Scandinavian counterparts.

  • Engaging Narrative: Follow the seasonal cycles of migratory birds, the winter migrations of sheep, and the time-honored traditions of hunting seabirds and pilot whales.
  • Connection to Nature: Delve into the art of survival in a challenging landscape, where the spirit of community and ancestral ties endure.
  • Wisdom and Reflection: Gain insights into balancing modern life with the lessons of the past, providing a thoughtful respite from contemporary chaos.

Far from a simple travelogue, The Land of Maybe offers a profound exploration of existence within the Faroe Islands' striking environment. Ecott’s writing resonates with the power of ocean currents and the Atlantic gales, making every page a compelling read. Experience the beauty of a vanishing world and the legacy of its resilient inhabitants.

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.’
