      By Macfarlane, Robert, 1976-  Morris, Jackie
       2018., House of Anansi Press Call No: 821.92 M143l    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "All over the country, there are words disappearing from children's lives. These are the words of the natural world--dandelion, otter, bramble and acorn, all gone. The rich landscape of wild imagination and wild play is rapidly fading from our children's minds. The Lost Words stands against the disappearance of wild childhood. It is a joyful celebration of nature words and the natural world they invoke. With acrostic spell-poems by award-winning writer Robert Macfarlane and hand-painted illustration by Jackie Morris, this enchanting book captures the irreplaceable magic of language and nature for all ages."-- Provided by publisher.

      By Muhlstein, Anka  Hunter, Adriana
       [2017]., Adult, Other Press Call No: 843.709 M952p    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "With the wit and penetration well known to readers of Balzac's Omelette and Monsieur Proust's Library, Anka Muhlstein revisits the delights of the French novel. This time she focuses on late 19th- and 20th-century writers - Balzac, Zola, Proust, Huysmans, and Maupassant - through the lens of their passionate involvement with the fine arts. She delves into the crucial role that painters play as characters in their novels, which she pairs with an exploration of the profound influence that painting exercised on the novelists' techniques, offering an intimate view of the intertwined worlds of painters and writers at the time. Muhlstein's deftly chosen vignettes bring to life a portrait of the nineteenth century's tight-knit artistic community, where Cezanne and Zola befriended each other as boys and Balzac yearned for the approval of Delacroix. She leads the reader on a journey of spontaneous discovery as she explores how a great painting can open a mind and spark creative fire"--Provided by publisher.
