Embark on a captivating journey through time with this unparalleled photographic compendium of the world's most historically significant trees. From ancient giants that have weathered millennia to saplings that have sprouted from the ashes of tragedy, each tree in this collection has a remarkable tale to tell.

Discover 'Methuselah', a bristlecone pine in New Hampshire's White Mountains, believed to have stood sentinel for nearly five millennia. Uncover the secrets of trees that have played pivotal roles in scientific breakthroughs, such as the apple tree in Lincolnshire that sparked Sir Isaac Newton's groundbreaking theories. Bear witness to the resilience of nature through the Hibaku jumoku in Japan, a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing, and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City, both living testaments to hope in the face of devastation.

Delve into the realm of popular culture, where you'll encounter the beech-lined avenue in Northern Ireland, instantly recognisable to Game of Thrones enthusiasts as the road to Kings Landing. Explore the legendary Robin Hood's oak in Sherwood Forest and the enchanting trees in Avebury that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's Ents in The Lord of the Rings.

Colin Salter's 'The History Trees: Extraordinary Tales of Trees Through Time' invites you to pause and ponder the enthralling narratives woven into the very fabric of these majestic beings. Each page turns, revealing a new chapter in the rich tapestry of arboreal history that has shaped our world in ways both grand and subtle.

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.’
