Crowned with accolades from National Geographic Traveller and Books Are My Bag, Bill Bryson's latest travelogue revisits his beloved Britain two decades after his seminal work, "Notes from a Small Island". That cheeky chronicle of Blighty became a national treasure, voted as the quintessential book representing the UK.

To commemorate this milestone, Bryson embarks on a fresh expedition across the realm, christened the "Bryson Line". From the southern shores of Bognor Regis to the northernmost tip of Cape Wrath, he meanders through oft-overlooked locales, rediscovering a nation both familiar and surprisingly altered.

With his trademark wit and keen eye for the absurd, Bryson navigates the eccentricities and eternal befuddlements of British life. Despite the occasional grumble, he remains smitten with his adopted home, cherishing its cream teas, rich history, and bonus Christmas holiday.

Bryson's unerring knack for unearthing the comical, endearing, and occasionally scandalous aspects of British culture shines through. "The Road to Little Dribbling" offers a delightfully astute glimpse into the best and worst of contemporary Britain, delivered with the author's incomparable humour and insight.

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.’
