AN UNPARALLELLED GIFT BOOK: * The Lost Words is a gorgeously designed, fully illustrated, one-of-a-kind large format book that would make the perfect gift book for the holidays. The package is beautiful, featuring a gold-foil-stamped printed case and full colour, full-bleed illustrations. Jackie Morris' artwork brings to life the poems' nature themes and would stand out even without the accompanying evocative poems. A PROMINENT AUTHOR AND PERSONALITY WITH MANY PLATFORMS: * Robert Macfarlane is a major literary and cultural figure in the United Kingdom with his writing on environmental topics regularly featured in the Guardian and Granta. He is a regular presence on television and hosted an adaptation of his book The Wild Places on BBC's The Natural World. His travel book The Old Ways was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize and Philip Pullman named it one of his best books of 2012. A SENSATION IN THE UK: * The Lost Words was acclaimed in the UK with stellar reviews in the Observer, the New Statesman, the Spectator, and the Guardian and author features in videos by the BBC and Waterstones bookshop. Jeanette Winterson, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, and Alex Preston all picked it as one of their best books of 2017 in the Guardian. The Lost Words has also inspired adaptations, art exhibits, and a successful Kickstarter campaign to buy copies of the book for every primary school in Scotland. As of February 2018, the book has sold 75,000 copies GREAT FOR ALL AGES: * This book is perfect for adults interested in the "re-enchantment movement" or those who just want to rediscover nature. Children newly interested in plants and animals will be captivated by the beautiful hand-painted illustrations and acrostic poems. A FOCUSED, ENGAGED AUDIENCE: * The book's subject matter lends itself naturally to a wide and engaged audience in environmental and conservationist groups. The UK-based John Muir Trust has already developed online resources tied in with the book to help children, educators, and activists explore nature and Canadian and American organizations would be a perfect audience for the title.
