In this captivating collection, Karen Russell weaves a tapestry of peculiar tales that defy the ordinary. Picture a socially inept adolescent with a ghastly hairdo whose fortunes take an unexpected turn upon discovering futuristic relics in a seabird's nest. Envision a dilapidated barn where three former US presidents find themselves reborn as equines, grappling with their newfound hooved existence. Follow the journey of Clyde and Magreb, an unlikely vampire couple—one a traditionalist, the other more modern—as they seek solace in an Italian citrus grove, hoping its zesty bounty might quell their bloodthirst.

Russell's prose is a testament to her extraordinary imagination, transforming the mundane into the magical. With razor-sharp wit and unparalleled creativity, she crafts narratives that linger long after the final page is turned. Whether she's exploring Antarctic tailgating, a legion of seagulls, or the view from a simple window, Russell's storytelling prowess shines through, leaving readers spellbound and craving more of her uniquely captivating literary concoctions.

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.’
