The response from readers was truly extraordinary: an instant bestseller, it inspired people of all ages all over the world, prompting mass fundraising campaigns to donate copies, and adaptations into folksong, symphony, theatre, puppetry, dance and mural. Three years later the creative duo delighted fans with a second title, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Spells\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrating the spirit of Red Fox, Silver Birch, Swallow, Jackdaw, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wild Cards \u003c\/i\u003edraws together 100 pieces of artwork from \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Words\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Spells. \u003c\/i\u003eEvery named species from the books is pictured at least once; many appear several times, though each postcard image is unique. The series also depicts many plants and animals not named in the original books - hidden details for the keen-eyed aficionado to discover - such as Blackbird, Stag and Rowan. On the reverse of the cards is an accompanying line of spell-text along with an identification of the depicted species. They have been otherwise left blank, their space waiting to be filled in by pen, pencil or paint and sent out into the world to make and renew connections.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48198019678366,"sku":"UBD-9780241534090","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780241534090.jpg?v=1787745614","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780241534090","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
