Details
Many of the words once used to describe the natural world are quietly fading from everyday language. The Lost Words brings these names back into focus, celebrating the plants and creatures that shape the landscapes around us.
Written by Robert Macfarlane and beautifully illustrated by Jackie Morris, this much-loved book combines poetry and artwork to reintroduce a collection of nature words that have gradually disappeared from modern dictionaries. Each entry presents a “spell” poem alongside striking illustrations that capture the spirit of the species being honoured.
From acorn and bluebell to kingfisher and otter, the book invites readers to rediscover the vocabulary of the wild world. Through language and art, it reminds us how closely our words have always been tied to the landscapes we inhabit.
