Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees by acclaimed author and environmentalist Roger Deakin. This celebrated masterpiece delves deep into the profound connection between trees, culture, and human existence, captivating readers with its vivid prose and insightful observations.

In Wildwood, Deakin embarks on a remarkable odyssey, journeying from his home in Suffolk to the far reaches of Britain, Europe, Central Asia, and Australia. Along the way, he unveils our intimate relationship with the natural world, inviting you to:

  • Experience the lives of woodlanders living in rustic cabins and shacks.
  • Pursue wild apple groves in Kazakhstan and engage in traditional coppicing back in Suffolk.
  • Marvel at the beauty of walnut trees in the Haut-Languedoc.
  • Join Aboriginal women in the outback as they hunt for bush plums.

Blending autobiography, travelogue, and poignant reflections, Wildwood is a lyrical exploration that enriches your understanding of our sylvan bonds. Critics have hailed Deakin's writing as 'some of the finest naturalist writing for many years' (Independent) and 'enthralling' (New Statesman). Each page reveals delightful insights, making it both enlightening and entertaining, as noted by Craig Brown, who describes it as 'enchanting, very funny.'

Perfect for fans of Robert Macfarlane and Colin Tudge, Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees promises to deepen your appreciation for nature’s wonders, solidifying Roger Deakin’s legacy as one of the greatest nature writers of our time.

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.’
