There was a time when words began to disappear from the language of children. The words disappeared so slowly that no one noticed at first. Bluebell, blackberry, acorn and adder.
Words that are gone now. Once they were important to children, to describe the nature around them; to formulate a landscape that for thousands of years formed the basis for the play of the little ones. But contact with nature is sparse now - other things call for attention. The lost words reestablish contact with the lost words. A tribute to the earth's own sensations - filled with poems and riddles that lead to nature's treasure house. An enchanted book for all ages. The book is richly illustrated with watercolors by Jackie Morris, who were voted the most beautiful of the year by English booksellers and who were also exhibited at The Fondling Museum in London. In translation by Rose-Marie Nielsen.
