Step into the enchanting world of By Rowan and Yew, a captivating sequel by the talented author Melissa Harrison. This beautifully crafted tale follows the journey of Moss, Sorrel, Burnet, and Dormer, four members of the Hidden Folk, as they embark on a quest filled with peril and wonder.
As autumn drapes the landscape in golden hues, these tiny beings—standing only one-hand high—must solve a riddle that holds the key to saving their vanishing kin. Their adventure back to Ash Row is woven with delightful discoveries, including:
Armed with friendship, good sense, and humor, Moss and his friends navigate a world that is both familiar and unpredictable. Will they manage to secure a future for the Hidden Folk, or will they need to forge an unlikely alliance with humans?
By Rowan and Yew is not just a story; it's a poignant reminder of the disappearing wilderness, seen through the eyes of charming characters. Melissa Harrison has garnered notable accolades for her evocative nature writing, including a Costa Book Award shortlist and a longlisting for the Baileys Prize.
Inspired by the 1942 classic The Little Grey Men and reminiscent of The Borrowers, this book delves into themes of nature, friendship, and preservation. Immerse yourself in this delightful exploration of the natural world and discover the enduring spirit of the Hidden Folk.

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.’
