Wanderers: A History of Women Walking by Kerri Andrews is an enlightening journey into the lives of female wanderers across three centuries, showcasing how walking has shaped their identities and literary voices.

This newly released B-format paperback delves into the experiences of ten extraordinary women—from the daring Elizabeth Carter, who roamed England's wild landscapes, to modern-day literary icons like Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed. Each narrative illustrates how the simple act of walking transcends mere movement, evolving into a vital part of their creative processes.

  • Elizabeth Carter: An 18th-century parson's daughter who embraced vagabond-like adventures.
  • Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt: Known for her extensive rambles through the scenic Highlands.
  • Virginia Woolf: Her iconic strolls through Bloomsbury inspired some of her most profound literary works.

Through these captivating stories, Wanderers offers readers a fresh perspective on the profound relationship between walking and self-discovery. Author Kerri Andrews weaves historical context with personal narratives, inviting readers to reflect on how movement influences perception and creativity.

Whether you are a literature enthusiast or someone inspired by the power of walking, Wanderers: A History of Women Walking is a must-read that redefines the boundaries of exploration and expression. Discover how these trailblazing women turned their steps into stories that continue to resonate today.

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.’
