The Wanderers: The West Country Trilogy by Tim Pears is a mesmerizing continuation of the acclaimed saga that has captured readers' hearts. Shortlisted for the prestigious 2018 Winston Graham Historical Prize, this novel transports you to the pre-Great War landscapes of Devon and Cornwall.
In this exquisite narrative, we follow the intertwined fates of two adolescents, Lottie and Leo. Separated by circumstance yet united by a profound bond, their journeys encapsulate the essence of youth and the beauty of the natural world.
As Leo encounters a band of vibrant travellers, their caravans offer not just shelter but a glimpse into a world beyond his imagination—one filled with freedom and possibility. Tim Pears masterfully weaves themes of adolescence, nature, and the inevitable march of progress through his rich prose, inviting readers to reflect on their own journeys.
With its evocative storytelling and deep connection to the stunning landscapes of early 20th-century rural England, The Wanderers: The West Country Trilogy promises to be a profound and unforgettable reading experience.

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.’
