The follow-up to the internationally bestselling sensation The Lost Words, The Lost Spells is a beautiful collection of poems and illustrations that evokes the magic of the everyda y natural world. Since its publication in 2017, The Lost Words has enchanted readers with its poetry and illustrations of the natural world. Now, The Lost Spells, a book kindred in spirit and tone, continues to re-wild the lives of children and adults. The Lost Spells evokes the wonder of everyday nature, conjuring up red foxes, birch trees, jackdaws, and more in poems and illustrations that flow between the pages and into readers' minds. Robert Macfarlane's spell-poems and Jackie Morris's watercolour illustrations are musical and magical: these are summoning spells, words of recollection, charms of protection. To read The Lost Spells is to see anew the natural world within our grasp and to be reminded of what happens when we allow it to slip away.Author: Robert MacFarlane, Jackie MorrisPublisher: Anansi InternationalPublished: 10/27/2020Pages: 240Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.90lbsSize: 7.00h x 5.10w x 1.10dISBN: 9781487007799Review Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 09/28/2020Kirkus Reviews 01/01/0001Shelf Awareness 11/03/2020School Library Journal 12/01/2020 pg. 115 Show more
