The Quiet Music of Gently Falling Snow: Compact Edition Hardcover – Illustrated, 20 Aug. 2020

I already have purchased two of The lost Words books which I love. However this surpasses it all for me. The illustrations are mind blowing and the words even the title is pure magical poetry. The author has a magical brush and magical words. Every adult who wants to escape from this harsh world should buy this book and indulge yourself and escape to Jackie’s magical world. 🌍

I discovered a poetry book she had illustrated, thus is a few years ago now, but it comforts me not just the classic poems but smoothing my hand over the illustrations.This book reaches the same spot, her illustrations are beautifully drawn and tell stories just by themselves as the people and animals go on their journeys. And in this book she has told stories from her own illustrations and they are just as beautiful, simple yet complex. Personally I think they are for adults to bring comfort.I do enjoy folk lore from all over the world and I do like them with pictures....so this does tick the right boxes for me.Thank you, it is a pleasure.

Beautiful book and outstanding art. A must have; I couldn’t put it down.

Gorgeous illustrations and interesting stories

This is a beautiful book, wonderful illustrations and lovely stories. I did buy it as a present for Christmas but have decided to keep it for myself!

I really loved this book! The artwork is amazing. The only downside is that I thought the paper should have been of better quality but overall I am happy with purchase. A book to lose yourself in!

This is a fabulous book. It tells understated stories while illuminating their meaning through exquisite illustrations.Once again Jackie Morris engages her readers with magical charm and warm mythical tales. There are beasts aplenty, look at the set of the lions head, look at the sense of speed given to sleek hares or running dogs look at the energy there mustered. Look at the stride of the angel in The City of Music. Look for minute details of instruments and shoes.The illustrations have worldwide appeal.and what links them all is music and storytelling through music. Music is harmony and love, it is binding and freeing, it is contentment and familiarity. Its absence is the silence of the least desirable sort. above all it is humanising.

I love this book and also sent a copy to my daughter-in-law . She loves it as much as me. A very special book to give to a person who loves the charm of folktales reset in an original format .The illustrations are beautiful and intriguing and the prose is lyrical , engaging and magical.
