It was a complete JOY and privilege to work on this project at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and have the opportunity to bring the glorious illustrations, poetry and graphics from The Lost Words book into the clinical setting of a hospital ward, and see the corridors transformed with  colour and vibrancy.

The Lost Words won many awards including the greenaway medal for illustration, The Hay Festival Medal . and Hay Book of the Year. With thanks to Jackie Morris and  Robert Macfarlane  for saying yes to this project and to Alison O'Toole the designer , who so thoughtfully reworked the pages into wonderful large graphic murals.
