The 11th century sees the lands encircling the North Sea embroiled in a ruthless pursuit of power. To amass strength, rulers require warriors; to recruit warriors, they need wealth; and to acquire wealth, they turn to the most expedient method: warfare and pillage. This relentless cycle engulfs the northern territories in a fierce battle for dominance and survival, ultimately shattering kingdoms and forging an empire.
Tore Skeie's 'The Wolf Age' embarks on an exhilarating expedition through the blood-soaked annals of English and Scandinavian history, traversing the landscape of early medieval Europe. From the untamed Norwegian fjords to the opulent cities of Muslim Andalusia, readers are thrust into a world where combat, intrigue, treachery, and bribery reign supreme. With meticulous attention to detail, Skeie masterfully interweaves sagas and skaldic poetry with pulse-pounding narrative, breathing life into the captivating era of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.

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.’
