This pocket-sized treasure is the perfect present for fans of nature, language and rich artwork, adult and child alike, introducing a beautiful new set of natural spell-poems and a rtwork by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. As in The Lost Words, these 'spells' take their subjects from relatively commonplace, and yet underappreciated, animals, birds, trees and flowers, such as Barn Owl, Red Fox, Grey Seal, Silver Birch, Jay and Jackdaw. In this book they find new shapes, new spaces and new voices with which to conjure their magic. Written to be read aloud, painted in brushstrokes that call to the forest, field, riverbank and also to the heart the book summons back what is often lost from sight and care, teaching the names of everyday species, and inspiring its readers to attention, love and care.
