From internationally bestselling author Jackie Morris and award-winning illustrator Cathy Fisher, a beautiful gift book with the resonance of a legend and a passion for the wild world

Dazzlingly beautiful and wonderfully inventive, this magical new book from the creators of a bestselling literary phenomenon introduces a fresh set of natural spell-poems and artwork by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. Similar in spirit to their previous work, this pocket-sized treasure presents "spells" inspired by underappreciated animals, birds, trees, and flowers—ranging from Barn Owl to Red Fox, Grey Seal to Silver Birch. Departing from the triptych format of their earlier work, it explores new shapes, spaces, and voices to conjure the essence of nature. Crafted to be read aloud, the text is infused with brushstrokes that resonate with the forest, field, and riverbank, while also appealing to the heart. The work aims to revive what is often overlooked, inspiring protection and action for the natural world. Above all, it celebrates wonder, showcasing nature's ability to amaze, console, and bring joy. Praise for the creators’ previous work highlights its beauty and the magic of language, emphasizing the astonishing artistry that invites readers to immerse themselves in its pages.

An Accordion Book doesn't open, it unfolds. One side is filled with beautiful watercolour images of an animal: sometimes in motion, sometimes at rest. The other is filled with text - poems, descriptions, invocations - inspired by the same animal. Together they work as spells to summon the animal's spirit. Jackie Morris has painted them using antique watercolours, some from boxes which hadn't been opened for over 150 years, woken from their slumber with a single drop of water. Fox and *Otter are the first two Accordions in a series that will go on to include Hare, {:: }Owl, *{:: }*Hound *and *Cat *among many others.

"The illustrations were commissioned Christmas card designs for the charity Help Musicians UK, produced at a rate of one painting a year ... the stories are a series of lullabies for adults"--Introduction.

Feather, Leaf, Bark & Stone is a book of poems and meditations with a difference. More than a hundred short texts have been typed onto small squares of gold leaf, then photographed. These pieces are arranged in a sequence which culminates in a glorious final section made up of texts typed directly onto leaves, bark and feathers. Jackie started to write the pieces shortly after her father died, and for the first time ever she found herself unable to paint. The words grew out of her grief and, guided by her deep intimacy with the natural world, these objects emerged to fill the space her paintings had left behind. This book is full of the light and wind that fills the Pembrokeshire coast where it was crafted, each page anchored to the landscape by the mechanical rhythm of Jackie's antique typewriters. The result is a collection of individual artworks to be both looked at and read. It is poetry re-imagined by a visual artist; words transformed back into their original function as images. Feather, Leaf, Bark & Stone announces a new departure for Jackie Morris and confirms her as an artist and writer at the peak of her power.

From the moment she saw him, the girl knew the bear had come for her. How many times had she dreamed of him? Now, here he was, as if spelled from her dreams.

Die junge Eepersip sehnt sich nach Freiheit in der Natur und läuft von zu Hause weg, um in der Wildnis zu leben. Trotz der Traurigkeit ihrer Eltern und ihrer Rückkehr in ein sicheres Zuhause lässt sie sich nicht aufhalten und folgt erneut ihrem Herzen ins Freie.

Neue Interpretation der Noah-Geschichte Gott will eine große Flut über die Erde schicken und nur Noah, seine Familie und die Tiere auf der Arche bewahren. Als Herr Noah den Auftrag erhält, fängt er erst einmal an zwei Listen zu schreiben: eine für all die Tiere, die an Bord kommen sollen und eine für die - wie er sie nennt - lästigen Wesen, die er unbedingt zurücklassen will. In der Zwischenzeit ist auch Frau Noah beschäftigt. Sie packt ihre Nähmaschine aus und fängt an zu nähen. Aber nicht - wie Herr Noah meint - schöne Vorhänge für seine Arche - nein, sie näht einen großen Mantel mit vielen, vielen Taschen, und als der Mantel fertig ist, zieht sie ihn an und geht hinaus in den Wald, bevor sie sich auf die Arche begibt. Die Tiere kommen an Bord, die Arche segelt los und Frau Noah erzählt an Bord Geschichten von Drachen und Einhörnern, Greifen, dem Phönix und all den anderen mythischen Kreaturen. Als die Arche endlich wieder Land findet, zieht Frau Noah wieder ihren Mantel an. Und - o Wunder - aus seinen Taschen schlüpfen Drachen und Einhörner, Greife und all die phantastischen Tiere, die Herr Noah so gern los geworden wäre. Herr Noah hat das Leben gerettet, Frau Noah aber die Welt der Fantasie
