Those already familiar with The Lost Words will know it as a work full of wildness, beauty and power. Jackie Morris has called The Lost Words a "wild dictionary", celebrating nature words that are falling from common usage (Dandelion, Acorn, Bramble, Otter) and the natural world they refer to. This bestselling and multi award-winning book has become, as the Guardian puts it, 'a cultural phenomenon', finding its way into the lives and dreams of hundreds of thousands of people around the world, inspiring hope, wonder and change. Working with the authors, Galileo has produced a stunning 1000 piece jigsaw featuring the iconic otter illustration which has featured in many of the live events. Importantly, Macfarlane's 'spell' that accompanies the image in the book is also featured on the back of the box. The book has sold well over 200,000 copies and has won many awards, among them: Joint Winner: Children's Book of the Year 2018 (British Book of the Year Awards). Winner: Hay Festival Book of the Year 2017. Winner: BAMB Most Beautiful Book of the Year 2017. Shortlisted: Waterstones Book of the Year 2017.
