The Word Trove is a stunning book which mixed fantasy and literacy in a beautifully captivating manner. It is not a long story and yet it feels completely immersive and really lifts the reader far from the realities of the daily grind and into a magical world. The idea of the Word and having it as a key character is really clever and quirky. The illustrations scattered throughout each chapter are gorgeous details which make this a book that I think I will keep now that I have read it rather than passing along to a friend. The cover is fabulous and takes a simple design and colour scheme to create a captivating and eye catching imagine which really makes it stand out yet the small, almost pocket book, size adds to its mystical appeal. This is a lovely book and one which will be well received as a gift and might make a lovely addition to a loved ones Christmas stocking
