Embark on an extraordinary subterranean odyssey with the internationally acclaimed nature writer Robert Macfarlane. 'Underland: A Deep Time Journey' is a spellbinding exploration of the hidden worlds beneath our feet, crafted by one of the most beloved voices in contemporary nature writing.

This Sunday Times bestseller and winner of prestigious accolades, including the Wainwright Prize 2019 and the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award 2020, invites readers on a global expedition. From the cerulean depths of Greenland's glaciers to the intricate underground networks of arboreal communication, Macfarlane unearths a tapestry of human history and natural wonder.

With the precision of a detective and the lyricism of a poet, Macfarlane delves into Bronze Age burial chambers, deciphers remote Arctic sea-cave art, and contemplates the profound implications of our planet's past and future. His narrative voice, at once gripping and meditative, guides us through this deep-time voyage with unwavering expertise.

'Underland' stands as a remarkable new chapter in Macfarlane's ongoing exploration of landscape and the human spirit. It is a work of breathtaking scope, intellectual rigour, and haunting beauty that has been hailed as 'a new kind of book' by The Irish Times and 'utterly beautiful' by The Observer.

This volume is an ideal gift for the intrepid explorer in your life, offering a journey that will set the imagination ablaze and leave an indelible mark on the reader's perception of the world beneath our feet.

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.’
