Ella Frances Sanders & Dominick Tyler (2015 Event)
The mysterious beauty of certain words joins Ella Frances Sanders and Dominick Tyler at the literary hip, as their separate glossaries reveal. Sanders’ Lost In Translation is a beautifully illustrated book which contains a selection of wholly untranslatable words from across the globe while Tyler’s Uncommon Ground is an enchanting visual compendium of Britain’s landscape featuring many terms (tolmen and zawn for two) which are falling into obscurity. Watch their event to find out more.
