Description

Embark on a captivating odyssey through the British landscape, culled from The Guardian's cherished Country Diary. This exquisite compilation, introduced by Ian McMillan and adorned with Clifford Harper's illustrations, presents a kaleidoscope of nature's wonders.

For more than a hundred years, The Guardian's Country Diary has showcased the nation's most esteemed natural history scribes as they distil the essence of Britain's countryside. From the dales of Yorkshire to the glens of the Scottish Highlands, and from the shores of Belfast to the peaks of Snowdonia, these meticulously observed vignettes paint a vivid tableau of the natural world.

Under the Changing Skies assembles the finest recent contributions to this storied column, offering an indispensable companion for those who harbour a profound affection for the British countryside. Within its pages, one discovers fish lurking in twilit pools, ancient trees silhouetted against azure skies, and the intricate dance of human and animal lives amidst the ebb and flow of the seasons.

This anthology features the lyrical prose of renowned writers such as Cal Flyn, Mark Cocker, Josie George, Nicola Chester, Lev Parikian, Amy-Jane Beer, Kate Bradbury, and Andrea Meanwell, among others. Their keen observations and poetic musings chronicle the subtle metamorphoses of the landscape throughout the year, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the ever-changing tapestry of the British countryside.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
