In THE LAST WILDERNESS, Neil Ansell, a seasoned explorer of solitary wild ventures, crafts a spellbinding narrative on nature and isolation. This tome will captivate admirers of Ansell's previous work, DEEP COUNTRY, as well as devotees of Robert Macfarlane's THE OLD WAYS and William Atkins' THE MOOR.

Shortlisted for both the 2018 Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize and the 2018 Highland Book Prize, this masterpiece has garnered high praise. Madeleine Bunting lauds Ansell's "rare skill of combining vividly the intimacy of detail and the astonishing grandeur of this North West coastline of Scotland," whilst the Daily Mail hails it as a "beautiful...testimony to reticent courage".

Ansell's prose transports readers to the most secluded corners of Britain, specifically the rugged terrain of the Scottish Highlands. Through a series of solitary expeditions, he deftly illustrates the profound impact of immersing oneself in nature, rather than merely observing it from afar.

In a poignant juxtaposition, Ansell chronicles the ever-shifting landscape and poignantly reflects on how his progressive hearing loss alters his connection with the natural world. The once-familiar avian chorus gradually fades into silence, adding a bittersweet note to his wilderness odyssey.

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.’
