PRAISE FOR ROBERT MACFARLANE, JACKIE MORRIS, AND THE LOST WORDS: Winner, CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal Finalist, Wainwright Prize "A gorgeous book!" -- @MargaretAtwood "Every page is enthralling." -- New York Times "Art, verse, and nature are combined with entertaining elegance in The Lost Words . . . This large, quality hardcover allows words and watercolour to shine and results in a work that can be left open at any page to stunning effect." -- Shelf Awareness, STARRED REVIEW "A gorgeous coffee-table book . . . with stunning artwork made with watercolour and gold leaf, and poems on words ranging from 'acorn' to 'wren.'" -- PEI Guardian "Stylish and melancholy, The Lost Words is a book to savour." -- Wall Street Journal "My top book of the year." -- Spectator "Sumptuous . . . a book combining meticulous wordcraft with exquisite illustrations deftly restores language describing the natural world to the children's lexicon . . . The Lost Words is a beautiful book and an important one." -- Observer "One of the most striking and poignant picture books of the season . . . This giant tome contains not only beautiful illustrations but a haunting series of poems that read like a summoning back of the wild . . . A book in which every page seems like an act of love." -- Herald "A breathtaking book." -- New Statesman "A sumptuous, nostalgic ode to a disappearing landscape." -- Kirkus Reviews "This union of natural history, poetry, art, and whimsy is, indeed, a truly enchanting all-ages book of life to contemplate, read aloud, and share." -- Booklist "Utterly enchanting, it's a celebration of nature -- but also language itself. If I ran the world, it'd be in every school library and classroom possible." -- Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast "One of the most stunningly beautiful books I have had the pleasure of reading (and rereading) this year." -- Fab Book Reviews "Gorgeous to look at and to read. Give it to a child to bring back the magic of language -- and its scope." -- Jeanette Winterson "The most beautiful and thought-provoking book I've read this year." -- Frank Cottrell-Boyce "Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris have made a thing of astonishing beauty." -- Alex Preston, "This unusually beautiful book brings to readers the magic and wonder of nature ... Breathtakingly magical." -- Kirkus (STARRED Review)
