Nominated for the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award 2021, 'The Rain Heron' is a mesmerising tale that blurs the lines between myth and reality. Jeff VanderMeer, author of 'Borne', hails it as "astonishing", praising its perfect balance of the mythical and the tangible, and its ability to lead readers on an unexpected journey.

In a country ravaged by political upheaval, Ren ekes out a solitary existence on the fringes of civilisation. Her life of hunting and bartering is disrupted when a young soldier arrives, seeking a fabled creature. As their paths intertwine, both are compelled to confront their deepest fears, regrets, and desires.

Robbie Arnott's masterful prose paints vivid landscapes and unforgettable characters in this eco-fable that serves as a poignant reminder of our complex relationships with nature and each other. It explores the consequences of our actions and the steep price we pay for our folly.

Lauded by Catherine Lacey as "transfixing" and deemed "fantastic" by Kawai Strong Washburn, 'The Rain Heron' is a captivating homage to the natural world that will leave readers spellbound and introspective.

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.’
