Wanderlust: A History of Walking by Rebecca Solnit is an enthralling exploration that redefines walking as more than a mode of transport—it is a profound journey through the realms of human history, culture, and philosophy.

This compelling work invites readers to embark on an enlightening expedition, uncovering the significant role of walking in shaping our world. Solnit artfully weaves together narratives that span centuries, showcasing:

  • The Role of Walking: Discover how walking influences literature, art, politics, and social movements.
  • Remarkable Figures: Meet both real and fictional pedestrians, including luminaries like Wordsworth and Rousseau, as well as the courageous Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
  • New Perspectives: Reflect on how walking impacts our bodies, minds, and the environment around us.

This thought-provoking tome transcends mere history; it is a celebration of human movement that urges us to appreciate the joys and insights found in the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other. Solnit’s characteristic wit and insight offer a refreshing outlook on daily life.

Engage with Wanderlust and gain a new perspective on your daily strolls. Join Rebecca Solnit in this unique journey through time and space, and transform your understanding of walking forever.

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.’
