Woodland, moorland, sea ... Great Britain is home to vast array of beautiful natural settings, each with its own unique sounds.

The award-winning audiobook for The Lost Words and its sister, The Lost Spells, showcased the immersive power of a natural soundscape. Compiled by renowned wildlife recordist Chris Watson, these soundscapes acted as the backdrop and setting for beautiful spells, whilst possessing an energy and life of their own.

Now, these aural glimpses into the natural world, be it an adder in grass or an egret submerging into the swell of the ocean, are brought together to star in their own right. Complemented by a foreword from renowned writer Robert Macfarlane and a fascinating 'making of' interview with sound recordist Chris Watson, The Lost Sounds is an immersive natural listening experience, taking listeners across the UK through the sounds of nature.

The main part of the book, the 4 tracks of the 4 seasons were delightfully varied and I enjoyed the long stretches of a particular environment. My favorite was the Spring track/ Chapter 4 with the complex songs of different woodland birds. The introduction and the interview also gave some insights on the sound choices and inspiration.
Reminded me a bit of an American counterpart Lang Elliot.
