THE DICTIONARY OF LOST WORDS

The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams tells how in 1901, the word ‘bondmaid’ was discovered missing from the Oxford English Dictionary – and the story of the girl who stole it. Esme, a curious young girl, spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of lexicographers are gathering words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Beneath the sorting table, Esme sees a slip containing the word ‘bondmaid’ flutter unclaimed to the floor, and so begins her collection of words for another dictionary: The Dictionary of Lost Words.
