Embark on a captivating journey through Britain's arboreal wonders with this exquisitely illustrated guide to 52 native tree species. Botanist Ros Bennett and her daughter Nell have crafted a remarkable tome that seamlessly blends scientific expertise with artistic flair.
Ros, a seasoned ecologist, has devoted her life to unravelling the mysteries of plant identification and sharing her passion with others. Her daughter Nell, inspired by childhood woodland adventures, has developed a keen eye for the visual splendour of trees. Together, they've created a guide that marries Ros's encyclopaedic knowledge with Nell's stunning illustrations.
Tree-spotting offers readers a foolproof method for identifying Britain's diverse tree species with confidence and ease. But this book is far more than a mere identification guide. It delves into the rich history and hidden secrets of each species, exploring the profound and often personal connections between humans and trees.

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.’
