The Lost Spells

The Lost Spells
by Robert Macfarlane (Author) and Jackie Morris (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: This illustrated book of spell poems evokes the wonder of everyday nature, conjuring up red foxes, birch trees, jackdaws, and more.

Snippet: I am Red Fox – why do you need me?

I am your double,
your ghost, your other,
The spirit of wild.
the spirit of weather,
Red is my fur and
red is my art,
and red is the blood
of your animal heart.
