Embark on an enlightening journey through Wales' captivating terrain in 'Tir', penned by the astute writer and ecologist Carwyn Graves. This riveting exploration delves into seven quintessential elements of the Welsh landscape, from the rugged ffridd (mountain pasture) to the untamed rhos (wild moorland). Graves' meticulous investigation reveals that Wales' breathtaking diversity is as much a testament to human influence as it is to nature's handiwork.

In an era grappling with climate concerns and heated debates on land use, 'Tir' offers a crucial understanding of our environment and the path that led us here. Through encounters with local inhabitants, farmers, and workers, Graves paints a vivid picture of these key landscapes, illuminating the intricate relationship between humans and their surroundings since the retreat of the ice age.

Far from a mere chronicle, 'Tir' extends a beacon of hope for a more harmonious future. It envisions a Wales of unparalleled beauty, teeming with biodiversity, where wildlife flourishes tenfold compared to present levels, whilst humans continue to work in symbiosis with the land. This compelling narrative invites readers to reimagine the potential of our natural world and our place within it.

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.’
