Delve into the timeless wisdom of our planet's most enduring features: rocks and mountains. These geological marvels have witnessed countless aeons, weathering the storms of time through erosion, transformation, and resilience. In this captivating exploration, Ruth Allen, an outdoor psychotherapist and geologist, draws fascinating parallels between these ancient formations and our own human journey.
Allen posits that, like the ever-changing landscape, we too are constantly evolving, shaped by the climates of our experiences. With her unique blend of geological expertise and therapeutic insight, she invites us to unearth profound lessons about resilience and adaptation from the very bedrock of our world.
Embark on a thought-provoking expedition through deep time and primordial landscapes, as Allen unveils how geology - the foundation of her own life and therapeutic approach - offers a novel perspective on grief, change, and personal boundaries. In an era marked by physical, political, and medical upheavals, 'Weathering' makes a compelling case for reconnecting with the earth beneath our feet, equipping us to better navigate our lives and serve our planet.

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.’
