Embark on a captivating journey to the Arctic Treeline in this pioneering and eloquently crafted exploration, which carries a pressing environmental message. For half a century, the trees have been inching northward, marking the frontline of climate change. Scientists are only now beginning to grasp the profound importance of these northern forests for our planet's future.

At the treeline, Rawlence bears witness to the rapidly escalating effects of climate change and the haunting remnants of colonialism and capitalism. Yet, amidst the challenges, he uncovers glimmers of optimism. Humans, as forest-dwelling creatures, have always evolved alongside trees, and 'The Treeline' prompts us to contemplate the next chapter in our shared evolution.

This masterful work, shortlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize, has been hailed as a poignant and deeply researched elegy for our vanishing world. It serves as both a chronicle of our present and a roadmap for our future. Rawlence's lyrical prose and passionate narrative weave a powerful account of how trees might be the key to saving our world—if only we have the wisdom to let them.

Join Rawlence as he circumnavigates the uppermost reaches of our globe, returning with a stark warning and an enthralling narrative that will captivate readers from start to finish. 'The Treeline: The Last Forest and the Future of Life on Earth' is an essential read for those seeking to understand the intricate relationship between humanity and nature in these critical times.

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.’
