Sunday Express hails this book as a portal to another realm. Join intrepid explorer and television personality Alice Morrison as she embarks on three extraordinary expeditions across Morocco, from the Sahara's vast expanse to the towering Atlas mountains, unveiling the mounting challenges our planet faces.

With only three Amazigh Muslim companions and their trusty camels, the Scottish adventurer sets out to uncover a hidden world. Her journey along the Draa river yields remarkable discoveries, including dinosaur tracks, a lost city, and peculiar markings resembling an ancient spaceship's map. All the while, she must navigate the perils of landmines, treacherous quicksand, and the deadly horned viper.

The parched riverbed serves as a stark reminder of climate change's impact and the desert's relentless advance, necessitating a constant quest for water. Morrison's unique position grants her rare insights into the lives of nomadic women, who share their experiences of childbirth and child-rearing in the wilderness. As the expedition progresses, she develops a taste for exotic delicacies, endures Hamish the camel's amorous displays, and partakes in fireside riddles with her fellow travellers.

Walking with Nomads unveils the transformative power of the desert and mountains, offering a complete escape from the mundane. However, it also highlights the unprecedented threats facing the ancient nomadic way of life.

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.’
