Jackie Morris

Jackie Morris is a British author and artist who is celebrated for her luminous watercolour paintings and her lyrical writing about the natural world. The Unwinding — and Other Dreamings is a collection that showcases Morris's extraordinary gift for combining visual art with poetic, meditative prose about nature, myth and the wild. Morris is best known for her illustrations for The Lost Words, a collaboration with Robert Macfarlane that became a cultural phenomenon and a tool for reconnecting children and adults with the natural world. Her art and writing are deeply rooted in the landscapes of Wales, where she lives and works, and in the mythology and folklore of the British Isles. She has won the Kate Greenaway Medal and has been praised as one of the finest illustrators and nature writers working in Britain today. Her audiobooks and books offer a beautiful, immersive experience of art and nature.
