First editions, all signed by the author, four works additionally signed by the contributors Jackie Morris, Stanley Donwood, and Luke Adam Hawker. This representative collection of Macfarlane's writings includes his first book, Mountains of the Mind, winner of the 2004 Somerset Maugham Award; his acclaimed work of linguistic preservation, The Lost Words; and his latest publication, Firefly. From perilous peaks to ancient woodlands and the subterranean world, Macfarlane's explorations of nature and culture have received widespread popular and critical acclaim. The Lost Words, championing terms such as acorn and bramble which were dropped from the Oxford Junior Dictionary due to lack of use by children, inspired fundraising which placed a copy in every Scottish primary school and British hospice. "Swimming down a tidal cave in Wales, [Macfarlane] saw at the end of it 'a vast white boulder. shaped roughly like a throne', undocumented, unexplained. A cave in Cumbria, in northern England, was framed by two great guard-stones with a holly tree across the entrance, just like the entrance to Moria in Tolkien. But what he sees is not fantasy. Nor is his whole project to 're-wild' our vocabulary. It is also to stretch our shrunken imaginations, even (he hopes, in the end) to 'irrigate the dry meta-language of modern policy making'. He is the great nature writer, and nature poet, of this generation" (Shippey). Holloway (2013) and Ness (2019) are both first trade editions, each published the previous year in a limited edition by Quive-Smith. The Lost Words and Firefly are signed on the publisher's bookplate. Tom Shippey, "Why You Can't Say Where You Are", Wall Street Journal, 5 Aug. 2016. Together, 11 works, octavos and a quarto. Many illustrations, including colour and photographic. Original bindings with dust jackets (Lost Words and Firefly issued without jacket). Barcode sticker on jacket rear panel of Lost Spells. Overall, a fine set in fine, unclipped jackets.
