Embark on a thrilling journey with Katherine Rundell, the acclaimed author who captured the Costa Children's Book Prize. Praised by Philip Pullman as "a writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination" and hailed by Jacqueline Wilson as "a truly compelling read... totally original", Rundell delivers a captivating tale that will enthral readers of all ages.
In the snow-covered forests of Russia, Feodora and her mother dwell in a cosy abode brimming with warmth and sustenance. A mere stone's throw away, a pack of wolves inhabits an old chapel. Feo's mother is a wolf wilder, and the young girl is training to follow in her footsteps. Unlike animal tamers, wolf wilders teach domesticated animals to embrace their wild nature, to hunt, to flee, and to be wary of humans.
When the Russian Army's brutal aggression threatens their very existence, Feo is forced to flee. What unfolds is a gripping narrative of revolution and adventure, a testament to standing up for one's beliefs and fighting back against injustice. And, of course, there are wolves—magnificent, untamed, and integral to this extraordinary tale.

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.’
