Embark on a global arboreal adventure with Around the World in 80 Trees by Jonathan Drori, a bestselling masterpiece that invites you to explore the enchanting world of trees. This captivating book, now available in paperback, has been praised as "beautiful to behold and to read" by The Sunday Times.
This remarkable journey features:
Drori, a passionate environmentalist, reveals the integral role trees play in our lives. Discover the stunning lime trees of Berlin's Unter den Linden boulevard, the eucalyptus-lined streets of 19th-century London, and the majestic redwoods of California. Each tree carries a unique story, filled with intriguing details—from self-mummifying monks to tree-climbing goats and mildly radioactive nuts.
Awarded the Woodland Books of the Year Awards 2018, Around the World in 80 Trees is celebrated as "an irresistible mix of science, culture, botany, history, and vicarious travel" by the Sydney Morning Herald. Perfect for fans of Peter Wohlleben's The Hidden Life of Trees, this book will inspire nature lovers to embark on their own global expedition or appreciate the beauty of their local botanical gardens.
Join Drori as he follows in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg, uncovering how trees offer us sanctuary, inspiration, and essential materials, from aspirin to maple syrup. This arboreal odyssey is "one of the most quietly beautiful books of the year," according to the Daily Mail, making it a timeless addition to any bookshelf.

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.’
