Mesen, Miaren, Dant y Llew, Dyfrgi – yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf mae’r geiriau natur hyn wedi bod yn diflannu o fywydau plant.

Mae’r llyfr hanfodol hwn yn dathlu iaith dan fygythiad a’r byd naturiol y mae’n ei ddisgrifio drwy ‘swynganeuon’ acrostig Robert Macfarlane, pob un yn dal hud a lledrith cynhenid eu pwnc ac yn annog ymgysylltiad adfywied gyda’r byd o’n cwmpas.

Mae lluniau Jackie Morris wedi’u peintio â llaw yn adlewyrchu pob cerdd, gan greu trysor gweledol a fydd i’w fwynhau am genedlaethau i ddod.


The Lost Words Welsh language edition, by Robert Macfarlane, Jackie Morris and Mererid Hopwood.

Acorn, Bramble, Dandelion, Otter – in recent years these nature words have been disappearing from the lives of children.

This vital book celebrates a threatened language and the natural world it describes through Robert Macfarlane’s acrostic spell-poems, each capturing the inherent awe and magic of their subject and encouraging revitalised engagement with the world around us.

Jackie Morris’s hand-painted illustrations accompany each poem, creating a visual treasure to be enjoyed for generations to come.
