Embark on an enlightening journey with Twelve Trees: And What They Tell Us About Our Past, Present and Future by Professor Daniel Lewis. This extraordinary book unveils the profound relationship between humanity and nature, exploring the remarkable lives of twelve iconic trees that have shaped our world.

Twelve Trees invites readers to traverse continents, from the tranquil shores of Australia to the ancient woodlands of the United States, as well as the mysterious landscapes of Easter Island and the vibrant ecosystems of Cameroon. Each chapter is dedicated to a different tree species, shedding light on the myriad challenges they face, such as:

  • Climate change
  • Poaching
  • Parasites
  • The ecological impact of elephants

Celebrated by the Independent as "highly empathetic and informative" and lauded by the Guardian as "a global arboreal odyssey," this book highlights the exceptional adaptability of trees while emphasizing their indispensable role in our ecosystems. Lewis expertly blends cutting-edge scientific research with inspiring community initiatives aimed at preserving these towering wonders.

The fate of humanity is intricately linked to the survival of trees, and Twelve Trees serves as a poignant tribute to these silent sentinels of our environment. With eloquent prose, Lewis enlightens us about the past, present, and potential futures of these magnificent beings, urging readers to recognize 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.’
