About this product

Product Information

From Acorn to Weasel- a gorgeous, hand-illustrated, large-format spellbook celebrating the magic and wonder of the natural world All over the country, there are words disappearing from children's lives. Words like Dandelion, Otter, Bramble, Acorn and Lark represent the natural world of childhood, a rich landscape of discovery and imagination that is fading from children's minds. The Lost Words stands against the disappearance of wild childhood. It is a joyful celebration of the poetry of nature words and the living glory of our distinctive, British countryside. With acrostic spell-poems by peerless wordsmith Robert Macfarlane and hand-painted illustrations by Jackie Morris, this enchanting book captures the irreplaceable magic of language and nature for all ages.

Excellent transaction in every way. Very communicative and helpful seller who went out of his way to deliver the purchase in person. Product in great condition (especially considering its age) and working perfectly: exactly as described, and at a very good price too. Would be very happy to deal with this seller again.

    Beautiful thoughts and illustrations of nature and life

    A beautiful book of words and illustrations of the natural world. Huge size on the large pages. Difficult to place (children, adults?) both - but a 'wow moment on every page. Large and 'important' feel to the book - for 3 - 10 year olds to dip into for a special treat - or can be used regularly, so long as adult in charge when they're younger.

    A great idea brought down by mediocre ilustrations

    The illustrations don't need a zoologist to point to their failings. Anyone a little bit observant will see how they jar. Robert Macfarlane is fabulous and the idea of the book so good. This is what makes it a big disappointment.

    A must have book.

    Absolutely beautiful. Superb and beguiling illustrations. Words accompanying the pictures revesal the authors exceptional knowledge of creatures behaviour and are better when read out loud. Still can't complete Jackdaw without laughing.

    A Very Special Inspiring Book

    I was expecting a good read, and this was more of a picture book. It is especially good for looking at with children in about mid-childhood (but you'll want to turn the pages most carefully!) Absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love with every picture, many of which cover a double page. Exquisite artwork by Jackie Morris. The words and letter are interactive and grabbed the attention of the two 7 and 8 year old boys who had come to visit.

    Everyone in the world should own this book

    My words expressing my feelings to this book are valueless ... the books visual beauty and imperative speaks eloquently and magically for itself ... What I would say is it is The best gift you could buy for any human at any time in their life or for any occasion ... I love Robert Macfarlane’s soul & his work and vision with all gods heart ....
