In ages past, the landscapes of Britain and Ireland were blanketed by vast woodlands. Though much of this verdant expanse has since vanished, our deep-rooted connection to these ancient forests endures. These sylvan realms remain etched in our collective imagination as places of peril, escapade, and metamorphosis—where the extraordinary becomes possible.

Lisa Schneidau's "Woodland Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland" presents a captivating anthology of time-honoured tales centred around oak, ash, and thorn. Within these pages, one discovers narratives of dense hunting grounds and insurrection, of timber and martial triumph, of spectral beings and wild men of the woods. Schneidau masterfully breathes new life into these age-old yarns, deftly weaving connections between the stories and the arboreal landscapes that continue to grace our isles 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.’
