Description
The Lost Words: A Spell Book by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris is a poignant collection of poems and illustrations that invite readers to rediscover the magic of the natural world. In 2007, a surprising change occurred in the Oxford Junior Dictionary, with forty common words concerning nature being dropped from its pages. These "lost words" included acorn, adder, bluebell, and many others, replaced by indoor and virtual terms. Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris have created a spell book that aims to conjure back twenty of these lost words, along with the beings they name, through the power of word and paint. This enchanting work seeks to summon these words into our lives once more, celebrating the wonder and importance of everyday nature. By exploring this unique collection, readers can reconnect with the natural world and its many wonders. Through its beautiful illustrations and evocative poetry, The Lost Words offers a powerful reminder of the value of nature in our lives. This spell book is a must-have for anyone looking to rekindle their love of the outdoors and the magic that surrounds us.
