Beneath a verdant canopy, a famished shrew scurries about, relying solely on his olfactory prowess. But when a nasty bout of influenza strikes, our diminutive hero must learn to employ his other senses. As he masters the art of hunting with his full sensory arsenal, the shrew's appetite becomes insatiable. The question arises: can our furry friend mend the woodland he holds so dear?
'The Shrew with The Flu', a charming tale penned by the promising Will Hamilton-Davies and beautifully illustrated by Jennifer Davison, is a delightful fusion of lyrical rhymes and sumptuous artwork. This environmentally-conscious narrative is an ideal choice for families seeking an engaging read-aloud experience.
Whilst ostensibly a captivating story of a shrew's gastronomic adventures, this book cleverly weaves in profound themes of avarice and compassion. It serves as a gentle reminder to cherish and safeguard our natural world, making it a truly enlightening read for young and old alike.

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.’
