Exquisite tomes make for indelible presents. This diminutive treasure is the ideal gift for enthusiasts of nature, language, and sumptuous artwork, appealing to both adults and children alike!

Whilst sharing a kindred spirit with The Lost Words, The Lost Spells presents a fresh approach, introducing an enchanting new collection of nature-inspired spell-poems and illustrations by the esteemed creative duo, Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris.

Each 'spell' evokes a creature, bird, tree, or blossom - from the enigmatic Barn Owl to the cunning Red Fox, the graceful Grey Seal to the majestic Silver Birch, the chattering Jay to the clever Jackdaw - with whom we share our environs and landscapes. At once poignant, jubilant, and witty, The Lost Spells primarily celebrates a sense of wonder, bearing witness to nature's capacity to astonish, comfort, and delight.

Crafted for oral recitation and adorned with brushstrokes that beckon to forest, field, and riverbank - as well as to the heart - The Lost Spells conjures back that which is often overlooked or neglected. It imparts the nomenclature of everyday species whilst inspiring its readers to observe, cherish, and nurture.

'Luminously beautiful. An amulet in dark times, to be carried like a talisman out into the world, where it is very much needed' - Dara McAnulty

'A tome about spells that succeeds in being spell-binding in its own right... It already feels like a true classic. Procure one copy for yourself and any others for as many children as you can afford' - Books for Keeps

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.’
