All over the country, there are words disappearing from children's lives. These are the words of the natural world - Dandelion, Otter, Bramble and Acorn, all gone. The rich landscape of wild imagination and wild play is rapidly fading from our children's minds.

Recenzii
One of the moststriking and poignantpicture books of the season...this giant tome contains not only beautiful illustrations buta haunting series of poemsthat read like a summoning back of the wild...a book in whichevery page seems like an act of love
Sumptuous...a book combiningmeticulous wordcraft with exquisite illustrationsdeftly restores language describing the natural world to the children's lexicon...The Lost Wordsis a beautiful book and an important one
A breathtaking book... Jackie Morris has createdsomething that you could spend all day looking at... This is the kind of complexity that can enthral a child as much as an adult...Refreshingly accessible, slightly magical
One of thepublishing sensations of recent times isThe Lost Words
My top book of the year... It is one of those children's books for ages up to 99 years. The lost words are those my generation and earlier ones used every day and which are fast disappearing, and Macfarlane's aim is to resurrect the everyday glories of our language. May he succeed
Gilded and glorious, Jackie Morris's paintings illustrate Robert Macfarlane's acrostic poems in The Lost Words, one of the years loveliest books for all ages over 10
