Yet, among them is Oktober, a young boy who finds solace in the cozy realm of home and the stories that thrive within his cherished books.

This heartwarming tale presents Oktober with a daunting challenge: a trek into nature's embrace, a place he perceives as fraught with peril. The wilderness, characterized by its slimy, grimy, and climby terrain, looms large, especially with the shadow of a creature he dubs "The Wilderness." But as Oktober navigates this daunting landscape, he learns that sometimes getting lost is the first step toward self-discovery.

Throughout his journey, Oktober encounters unexpected friendships and learns that true bravery often lies in confronting one’s fears. "The Wilderness" beautifully balances the thrill of adventure with the comforting essence of self-exploration, making it an ideal read for:

  • Book lovers who prefer to journey from the safety of their armchairs

This enchanting story not only promises an escape filled with courage and friendship but also inspires readers to embrace the unknown. With its compelling narrative, "The Wilderness" is perfect for adventurers of all ages seeking a blend of excitement and introspection.

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.’
