Penned by Robert Tregoning, the esteemed recipient of the Indie Picture Book Award 2024, 'What the Crow Saw Below' is an enchanting narrative that weaves hope into its very fabric. This captivating tale, adorned with Greg Stobbs' breathtaking illustrations, unfolds with the grace of a timeless fable.
Picture, if you will, a young crow perched upon the gnarled and intertwined boughs of a dense, mysterious forest. As tradition dictates, she gazes earthward, ever vigilant for lurking dangers. Yet, this inquisitive fledgling begins to ponder: why must her elders always scrutinise the ground below?
Our plucky protagonist faces a pivotal choice: will she muster the pluck to cast her gaze skyward, venturing beyond the familiar canopy? Perhaps, in doing so, she might discover the liberation her heart so fervently desires. This, dear reader, is a tale that will set imaginations soaring and hearts aflutter.

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.’
