The Word Trove was an enchanting little story about a young word that has lost its meaning. It follows the journey of this word as it tries to rediscover its true meaning and purpose.
This book reminded me a lot about children's fairy-tales as the story had an almost whimsical nature to it. This was aided to by the beautiful illustrations weaved throughout the book. It is abundant with clever little metaphors and the references to other stories like 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' were placed in perfectly.
This isn't the type of book I would usually read, but the concept really drew me in. It was very unique and quirky but that it what made it so enjoyable to read. It was a fast paced, easy read, the language not too difficult to understand but the meaning behind it was something to be discovered by the reader along with the character, the word.
A book to make you fall in love with the English language.
