Hailed as a 'font of botanical insight' by The Guardian, Adele Nozedar's seminal work, The Hedgerow Handbook, celebrates its 10th anniversary with this special edition. Featuring a foreword by Sunday Times bestselling author Tom Cox, this definitive guide to hedgerow foraging remains as captivating as ever.
The humble hedgerow, a quintessential element of the British landscape, often goes unnoticed. Yet, upon closer inspection, one discovers a veritable treasure trove of plant species, along with the myriad creatures that call it home. This book invites you to explore this enchanting microcosm in exquisite detail.
From angelica to wimberries, this comprehensive directory showcases our most beloved and useful hedgerow plants. Each entry is accompanied by vibrant botanical illustrations to aid identification, alongside fascinating historical tidbits, folklore, and both traditional and innovative culinary and medicinal applications.
A must-have for nature enthusiasts and foragers alike, this handbook unveils the hedgerow's boundless potential. Transform wild ingredients into delectable concoctions, from the effervescent Elderflower Champagne to the luscious Wild Raspberry and Meadowsweet Jam. The hedgerow, it seems, holds more secrets than one might ever have imagined.

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.’
