From the pen of the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees comes a captivating exploration of our profound connection to nature. The Heartbeat of Trees, lauded by The Guardian as "a stimulating yet soothing fusion of nature writing and science", beckons readers to embrace the forest and rediscover our innate bond with the natural world.
Esteemed forester Peter Wohlleben masterfully weaves cutting-edge scientific discoveries into a tapestry of fascinating insights. He unveils the secret language of the forest, the surprising consciousness of plants, and the blurring lines between flora and fauna. In an age of climate anxiety, Wohlleben reassures us that our ancestral ties to the forest remain intact, waiting to be rekindled.
This enchanting tome serves as the perfect companion for woodland wanderings, guiding readers to experience the forest with all their senses. Discover the calming power of green, the sharpening of senses amidst the trees, and the hidden heartbeats that pulse through the ecosystem.
Wohlleben's signature engaging prose transforms complex scientific concepts into accessible revelations. The Heartbeat of Trees is more than a clarion call for conservation; it's a reminder that in saving the forests, we ultimately save ourselves. For those yearning to reconnect with nature, this book is an indispensable guide to rediscovering our place within the intricate web of life.

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.’
