The Lost Words

Autor Jackie Morris, Robert MacFarlane
en Limba Engleză Hardback

From bestselling Landmarks author Robert Macfarlane and acclaimed artist and author Jackie Morris, a beautiful illustrated book for readers young and old.

All over the country, there are words disappearing from children's lives. These are the words of the natural world -- Dandelion, Otter, Bramble and Acorn, all gone. The rich landscape of wild imagination and wild play is rapidly fading from our children's minds.

The Lost Words stands against the disappearance of wild childhood. It is a joyful celebration of nature words and the natural world they invoke. With acrostic spell-poems by award-winning writer Robert Macfarlane and hand-painted illustration by Jackie Morris, this enchanting book captures the irreplaceable magic of language and nature for all ages.

Macfarlane is a changemaker... he has made nature-writing populis6t and big-selling. Morris's paintings are beautiful - at once familiar and other. A contender for book of the year

Sumptuous...a book combiningmeticulous wordcraft with exquisite illustrationsdeftly restores language describing the natural world to the children's lexicon...The Lost Wordsis a beautiful book and an important one
A breathtaking book... Jackie Morris has createdsomething that you could spend all day looking at... This is the kind of complexity that can enthral a child as much as an adult...Refreshingly accessible, slightly magical
One of thepublishing sensations of recent times isThe Lost Words
My top book of the year... It is one of those children's books for ages up to 99 years. The lost words are those my generation and earlier ones used every day and which are fast disappearing, and Macfarlane's aim is to resurrect the everyday glories of our language. May he succeed
Gilded and glorious, Jackie Morris's paintings illustrate Robert Macfarlane's acrostic poems in The Lost Words, one of the years loveliest books for all ages over 10
Rapturously received celebration of nature
