Robert MacFarlane

A book for the words that are disappearing from children's vocabulary and their way of life. It's a way of life that includes rambling and exploring and nature. MacFarlane's lyrical acrostic poems are accompanied by the rich paintings of Morris. It's a beautiful oversized book that we liesurely take our time with. I loved the concept so much that I even bought the accompanying postcards to send to friends who needed some "lost words" to inspire them.
A hidden title preceeds each poem.
