Based on their book The Lost Spells, this puzzle pairs phrases from the original spells created by Robert Macfarlane with beautiful illustrations by Jackie Morris. The writer and artist’s first collaboration, The Lost Words, was a dazzlingly original celebration of language and nature. It became a “cultural phenomenon” (Guardian), winning many prizes and being adapted for folk song, classical music, rap, film, drama, dance, radio, card games, jigsaws, and murals. The Lost Spells is its little sister.
With an owl: “Will you listen with Owl ears for a while? Owl hushes."With a curlew: “Unearthly song of an eerie singer—a bubbling spring, a wild bell-ringer." With an egret: “Egret out-gleams ice blaze of light.”
The Lost Spells are conjurings and charms, spells that protect and spells that protest, tongue-twisters, blessings, lullabies, psalms, and more. On the back of the puzzle box are the animals, birds, and plants from the puzzle image, numbered to correspond to a key with the English and Latin names of each.
From the introduction: “‘To enchant’ means both to make magic and to sing out. So let these spells ring far and wide; speak their words and seek their art, let the wild world into your eyes, your voice, your heart.”
Finished puzzle size: 27" x 19"; 1,000 pieces.
