In this captivating exploration of nature's towering wonders, 'Twelve Trees' offers an enlightening journey through the world of arboreal giants. Praised as 'highly empathetic and informative' by the Independent, and hailed as 'a global arboreal odyssey' by the Guardian, this book promises to be a standout title in 2024.

Professor Daniel Lewis takes readers on a worldwide expedition, from the shores of Australia to the forests of the United States, and from the mysterious Easter Island to the heart of Cameroon. Through twelve remarkable tree species, he unveils the myriad challenges our planet faces, including climate change, poaching, parasites, and even the impact of elephants. Lewis celebrates these trees' resilience and their extraordinary ability to adapt and flourish in an increasingly perilous world.

This work delves into cutting-edge scientific research and inspiring community initiatives aimed at preserving these vital organisms. Lewis argues persuasively that the fate of humanity is inextricably linked to the survival of trees, emphasising their crucial role in our lives and ecosystems.

'Twelve Trees' is more than just a book; it's a heartfelt tribute to nature's silent sentinels. With its blend of scientific insight and engaging narrative, it serves as both a wake-up call and a source of hope. Lewis's eloquent prose illuminates the past, present, and potential future of these magnificent species, compelling readers to recognise the urgent need for their protection.

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.’
