Just finished reading ,A Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams.

Wonderful story and well written. It is a treat to read about someone who loves words as much as I do. Especially in this day and age where abbreviation seems to be the norm. All the tiny slips of paper, and defining sentences is a wonder. Enjoy. It as a leisurely read. I remember a junior high school teacher giving me a gift when the school year ended. She had collected her favourite quotes and mimeographed them for me to have. This book reminds me of that special connection with another person and the words we use and collect to define us.
