Sobre este artículo
New York: House of Anansi Press, 2020. DOUBLE SIGNED. 1st/1st. New. First American Edition. First printing with 1. Signed by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris on the publisher's bound-in page. This unread book is tight and square with solid hinges, good tips, and clean unmarred boards. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Full-page color illustrations throughout by Jackie Morris, with moth and butterfly pictorial endpapers, an illustrated ex libris page, and a sewn-in ribbon bookmark. The dust jacket is unclipped ($26.00) and Fine. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 5 x 7" tall.
The Lost Spells reconnects us with what is often lost from sight and care and evokes the wonder of everyday nature. MacFarlane's spell-poems and Jackie Morris's watercolor illustrations are musical and magical: these are summoning spells, words of recollection, and charms of protection.
Each "spell" conjures an animal, bird, tree, or flower — from barn owl to red fox, grey seal to silver birch, jay to jackdaw — with which we share our lives and landscapes. Moving, joyful, and funny, "The Lost Spells" above all celebrates a sense of wonder, bearing witness to nature's power to amaze, console, and bring joy.
Sinopsis
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.
