Description

Cider is liquid sunshine, a radiant elixir captured in a glass! Join Jane Peyton on a resplendent voyage of discovery, tracing the journey of the wild Malus Sieversii apple – the progenitor of today's domesticated apple – from its origins in the foothills of Central Asia's Tien Shan mountains, through the Norman invasion that introduced novel apple varieties and pressing techniques to Britain, and across the Atlantic with the colonists who carried apples to America, planted their seeds, and imbibed cider long before beer brewing took firm root.

In the present day, this legacy endures in the hallowed orchards and artisanal processes of craft cider-makers, the folk traditions of the British Wassail and the Txotx celebrations of the Basque Country, and the ethos of the Slow Food Movement. Beyond elucidating cider's kinship with champagne and the reasons behind our contemporary renaissance of cider- and perry-making, Jane proffers tasting advice and food pairings to guide any aspiring cider connoisseur. Embrace the allure of Ciderland.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
