Lost Words 20 Postcard Pack

Lost Words 20 Postcard Pack

The Lost Words (Hamish Hamilton) by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris is set to be one of the outstanding illustrated books of 2017. A selection of the lost words and their illustrations have been chosen from the book for release as a set of 20 large boxed postcards. Jackie Morris s stunning original artwork is accompanied by extracts from Robert Macfarlane s lyrical acrostic poems on the reverse, reproduced exclusively as postcards by Graffeg. The text and image pairings seek to re-establish a range of words, such as acorn and kingfisher , into the vocabulary of children, at a time when our understanding and teaching of the natural world can be seen to be diminishing. An enriching and beautifully presented item for both children and adults, supplied in a gift box.
