Embark on a breathtaking journey with Underland: A Deep Time Journey by the acclaimed nature writer Robert Macfarlane. This captivating exploration invites readers to delve into the hidden depths of our planet, where adventure meets profound insights into nature and history.

In Underland, Macfarlane masterfully intertwines stories from the icy expanse of Greenland's glaciers to the intricate underground networks of trees. Each page is a portal to:

  • Bronze Age burial chambers that resonate with echoes of the past
  • Remote Arctic sea-cave art that challenges our understanding of human history
  • Complex ecosystems that reveal the delicate balance of life

This Sunday Times bestseller has been honored with prestigious accolades, including the Wainwright Prize 2019 and the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award 2020. These awards underline Macfarlane’s exceptional ability to weave a narrative that is both gripping and contemplative.

With beautiful prose celebrated as “utterly beautiful” by The Observer and recognized as “a new kind of book” by The Irish Times, Underland not only showcases nature’s wonders but also encourages readers to reflect on their connection with the earth. This remarkable work is an ideal gift for adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike, making it a must-have addition to any literary collection.

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.’
