Prepare to be enchanted by this mesmerising ecological parable, a must-read for devotees of David Mitchell, Richard Powers, and Margaret Atwood. Michael Christie's 'Greenwood' unfolds like the concentric circles of a tree trunk, weaving an intricate tapestry of time and nature.
Our journey begins in a dystopian future where a solitary forest stands as the last bastion of green on Earth. From this haunting premise, we're spirited back through the decades, eventually alighting at the dawn of the 20th century. Here, we encounter two young lads who, by some twist of fate, survive a catastrophic train wreck. This pivotal moment sets them on a trajectory that will irrevocably alter not only their own destinies but those of countless others in their wake.
Christie's narrative is a masterful blend of mystery and environmental commentary, inviting readers to unravel the complex connections between past and present, humanity and nature. 'Greenwood' is not merely a novel; it's a thought-provoking exploration of our intricate relationship with the natural world, delivered with the precision of a finely-tuned timepiece.

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.’
