Embark on an extraordinary journey with Nina Lyon as she delves into the enigmatic world of the Green Man. Spurred by a chance encounter with an ancient carving, Lyon sets out to unravel the mystery surrounding this medieval figure and his surprising relevance in our modern era. Her quest takes her through a captivating landscape of mountains, forests, rivers, and stone circles, where a fascinating cult of the Green Man begins to emerge.
With the keen eye of a detective and the passion of a folklorist, Lyon peels back the layers of history and mythology to explore the Green Man's origins and multifaceted significance. As she traverses the British countryside, from overgrown Welsh railway lines to the leafy suburbs of London, Lyon encounters a series of peculiar occurrences that add an air of intrigue to her investigation.
In "Uprooted: On the Trail of the Green Man", Lyon presents a compelling narrative that is part travelogue, part cultural exploration, and wholly captivating. This book is an invitation to join her on a thought-provoking adventure that challenges our understanding of nature, mythology, and our place in an increasingly precarious world.

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.’
