Alphabet Editorial Review
This book, "The Little Book of Lost Words," presents a collection of uncommon and obsolete words and their meanings, with illustrations accompanying them. While some readers found it amusing, enjoyable, and a source for new vocabulary, others found it forgettable, shallow and not worth the money. The cute and engaging illustrations in the book were commended. However, some complained about inappropriate images. Overall, it would be a fun, laid-back read for those who have some time to spare and are interested in exploring unusual words.
