The Untameables by Clare Pollard invites readers into a reimagined world of Camelot, where the ordinary faces extraordinary challenges under the oppressive reign of King Arthur. As the cruel knights of the round table wage war and hunt mythical creatures, the land suffers, and its people fall ill from a mysterious poison.

In this captivating tale, two brave children, Roan and Elva, embark on an epic quest to find the Holy Grail, the one thing that could save their ailing land. Roan, a timid dog keeper desperate to save his mother, teams up with the outspoken kitchenhand, Elva, who has her own compelling reasons for pursuing the Grail.

Key Features of The Untameables:

  • Engaging Narrative: A thrilling adventure that reinterprets traditional Arthurian legends.

  • Stunning Illustrations: Beautifully illustrated by Reena Makwana, adding depth to the enchanting story.
  • Thought-Provoking Themes: Encourages readers to contemplate the nature of legends and whose voices are included in the stories we tell.

Clare Pollard’s first children’s book is not only a story of adventure and mystery but also a reflection on the power of narrative. With the fate of Camelot resting on their shoulders, can Roan and Elva outsmart the knights and find the Grail in time to save Roan's mother? Dive into The Untameables and discover a tale where courage, friendship, and the pursuit of truth shine brightly amidst darkness.

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.’
