Embark on a festive journey through time this Christmas, exploring a realm vastly different from our own: Medieval England. Imagine yourself transported to the 14th century, immersed in the sights, sounds, and scents of a bygone era. Where would you rest your head? What delicacies might grace your plate? And how would you ascertain whether the dreaded plague has taken hold?

Ian Mortimer's 'The Time Traveller's Guide' presents a revolutionary approach to historical exploration, turning conventional understanding on its head. History, Mortimer posits, is not merely a subject for academic study, but a living, breathing experience—be it through the eyes of a humble peasant or a noble lord. The result is a tome of unparalleled originality; as enlightening as it is innovative, as captivating as it is thought-provoking.

Hailed by The Times as 'the most remarkable medieval historian of our time', Mortimer has crafted what The Guardian declares 'the most entertaining book ever written about the middle ages' since Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Prepare to be astonished, amused, and utterly transported by this extraordinary handbook for time travellers.

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.’
