Description

The New Sylva: A Discourse of Forest and Orchard Trees for the Twenty-First Century by Gabriel Hemery and Sarah Simblet is a breathtaking tribute to the majestic beauty of trees, reshaping our understanding of the natural world.

This modern reinterpretation of John Evelyn's 1664 classic, Sylva, presents a thorough exploration of the trees that shape our landscapes today. Recognized as "Beautiful, useful, inspirational" by BBC Wildlife as the Book of the Month, this edition serves not only as an educational resource but also as a source of inspiration for environmental stewardship.

In the first section, silvologist Gabriel Hemery delves into the cultural, environmental, and economic significance of trees, fostering a profound connection between humanity and nature. The New Sylva features:

  • Forty-four detailed tree portraits showcasing iconic species such as oak, elm, and apple.
  • Exquisite artwork from co-author Sarah Simblet, featuring over 200 illustrations that beautifully capture the essence of trees across the seasons.
  • A charming design with a unique interplay of black and red type on creamy paper, reminiscent of timeless bookmaking traditions.
  • Illustrated endpapers and a practical ribbon marker, making it an ideal addition to any coffee table.

As we navigate an era where understanding and cherishing our trees is more essential than ever, The New Sylva emerges as an invaluable resource. This captivating edition invites readers to rediscover the beauty and importance of our trees, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the wonders they provide.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart.

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.’
