Greenery: Journeying with the Spring from Southern Africa to the Arctic by Tim Dee invites you to experience nature's stunning rebirth in a poetic odyssey that transcends geographical boundaries.

This celebrated travelogue is more than just a book; it is a heartfelt exploration of the seasonal migration of swallows and the awakening of life across continents. Transport yourself from the sun-drenched landscapes of South Africa to the icy realms of the Arctic.

In Greenery, Dee traverses remarkable regions, including:

  • The vast expanse of the Sahara Desert
  • The historic Straits of Gibraltar
  • The enchanting terrain of Sicily
  • The serene British countryside

His keen observations capture the essence of spring's renewal, from the first tender buds of the season to the symphony of birdsong that fills the air. With each page, readers are invited to immerse themselves in the zenith of the natural year, where life burgeons anew.

Hailed by the Observer as a 'poetic hymn to spring,' and acclaimed by renowned authors like Max Porter, who describes it as a 'masterpiece,' Greenery solidifies Tim Dee's status as one of Britain's finest nature writers. Lucy Jones echoes this sentiment, calling it 'fascinating, horizon-expanding, life-enhancing.'

Whether you are an avid nature lover, a poetry enthusiast, or simply in search of inspiration, this extraordinary book promises a front-row seat to nature's grand awakening. Join Tim Dee on this unforgettable journey and embrace the beauty of spring.

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.’
