Embark on a mesmerising odyssey through the rebirth of nature in Tim Dee's 'Greenery'. This lyrical masterpiece, hailed as a 'poetic hymn to spring' by the Observer, follows Dee's intrepid pursuit of the vernal season and its avian harbingers.

From the sun-drenched summer of South Africa to the Arctic shores of Scandinavia, Dee's quest unfolds across continents and cultures. His journey traces the flight paths of swallows as they migrate northward, heralding the arrival of spring in Europe. Along the way, he traverses the Sahara's vast expanse, navigates the Straits of Gibraltar, explores Sicily, and roams the British countryside.

With each step, Dee immerses himself in the zenith of the natural year—a time of birdsong, nest-building, and new life. His keen observations capture the essence of spring's renewal, from the first buds to the unfurling of leaves. This extraordinary travelogue offers readers a front-row seat to nature's grand awakening.

Acclaimed by literary luminaries and naturalists alike, 'Greenery' has been lauded as a 'masterpiece' by Max Porter and described as 'fascinating, horizon-expanding, life-enhancing' by Lucy Jones. Dee's prose, at once precise and poetic, cements his reputation as one of Britain's finest nature writers.

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.’
