Experience the breathtaking landscapes of yesteryears with Wild: Tales from Early Medieval Britain by acclaimed author Amy Jeffs. This captivating narrative transports readers to the rugged cliffs and dense forests of early medieval Britain, offering a unique blend of fiction and reflective storytelling.

In Wild, Jeffs intricately weaves her personal travels through Britain's wildest terrains with retellings of medieval texts, inviting readers to explore a world that feels both foreign and familiar. The book is eloquently divided into seven compelling chapters:

  • Earth
  • Ocean
  • Forest
  • Beast
  • Fen
  • Catastrophe
  • Paradise

Each chapter is a journey into forgotten tales, emphasizing the voices of women, outcasts, and animals often overlooked in medieval literature. Jeffs’ evocative prose, enriched with original wood engravings, brings forth a vivid realm filled with whales, wolves, and other natural wonders.

Not only is Wild an exploration of early medieval Britain, but it also serves as a profound reminder of our connection to nature. Readers will find themselves captivated by the raw beauty of a long-forgotten landscape, experiencing 'westendream'—a deep appreciation for the untamed world.

Discover the magic of Wild: Tales from Early Medieval Britain, where ancient stories come to life through Jeffs' masterful storytelling and artistic vision.

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.’
