Poems and images rooted in everyday nature

Robert Macfarlane’s collection pairs poems with Jackie Morris’s watercolour illustrations, bringing familiar parts of the natural world—among them foxes, birch trees and jackdaws—onto the page. Its “spell-poems” frame attention to these subjects as acts of recollection and protection, while the book’s connected text and images invite a renewed notice of nearby nature. As a follow-up to *The Lost Words*, it carries forward that book’s engagement with the natural world in a collection for children and adults.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in poetry about animals, plants and the everyday natural world.
  • Children and adults who enjoy illustrated poetry collections.
  • Readers familiar with *The Lost Words* seeking a related collection.

Book overview

The follow-up to the internationally bestselling sensation The Lost Words, The Lost Spells is a beautiful collection of poems and illustrations that evokes the magic of the everyday natural world.

Since its publication in 2017, The Lost Words has enchanted readers with its poetry and illustrations of the natural world. Now, The Lost Spells, a book kindred in spirit and tone, continues to re-wild the lives of children and adults.

The Lost Spells evokes the wonder of everyday nature, conjuring up red foxes, birch trees, jackdaws, and more in poems and illustrations that flow between the pages and into readers' minds. Robert Macfarlane's spell-poems and Jackie Morris's watercolour illustrations are musical and magical: these are summoning spells, words of recollection, charms of protection. To read The Lost Spells is to see anew the natural world within our grasp and to be reminded of what happens when we allow it to slip away.
