Embark on a captivating journey through the natural world with Helen Macdonald's 'Vesper Flights', the Sunday Times bestseller from the acclaimed author of 'H is for Hawk'. This mesmerising collection of essays delves into the intricate relationship between humans and nature, offering a fresh perspective on what we believe we understand about ourselves.

Macdonald, hailed as one of this century's finest nature writers, presents a blend of her most beloved works alongside new pieces. Her keen observations span an eclectic range of subjects, from the enigmatic world of mushroom hunting and swan catching to the curious tribulations of ostrich farming. With her characteristic wit and insight, she explores headaches, high-rise buildings, and even twentieth-century espionage through the lens of our connection to the natural world.

'Vesper Flights' is a testament to the power of observation, the allure of fascination, and the complex interplay of time, memory, love, and loss. Macdonald's prose is at once deeply personal and politically astute, offering readers a renewed appreciation for the world around us. This compelling work is essential reading for those seeking to rediscover the wonder and importance of nature in our lives.

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.’
