Description
A richly illustrated “book of spells,” this celebration of the natural world summons endangered and forgotten words—among them acorn, bluebell, otter, wren, and dandelion—back into everyday language. Robert Macfarlane’s lyrical, playful poems invite readers to speak, sing, and linger over each creature and plant, while Jackie Morris’s luminous artwork opens a vivid landscape of wonder and discovery. Created for readers of all ages, the book explores the intimate connection between language, imagination, and environmental care, reminding us that naming the wild is one way of learning to love and protect it. Designed to be shared aloud and savored slowly, it is both a protest against nature’s disappearance and a joyous rewilding of the imagination.
