Chatting Books Online Day 128. Today's recommendation is a big, beautiful book that I just love looking through and I think you will as well. "The Lost Words" by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris is another of those quasi-children's books that is an equally lovely gift for an adult. It is really a collection of art and poetry based loosely around the concept that there are words for objects in nature that used to be part of the every day vocabulary of children that seem to be fading away from usage so these "spells" (poems) are put forth to bring them back into the everyday. The pictures are wonderful and the words are lovely. And when I say it is a BIG beautiful book I mean it! The book measures : 14.81" L x 11.0" W and weighs 3.2 lbs for it's heavy weight 128 pages. You really have to see this book to appreciate it fully - and then you will fall in love.
