Eileen's Adventures in Wordland - The Life Story of Our Word Friends (Paperback)

Zillah Katherine Macdonald was born in 1885 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is noted for her children's books, as well as for a series of "career romances for young moderns." "Eileen's Adventures in Wordland" is Macdonald's first novel for children, and is a real delight for lovers of words and wordplay. Eileen's companion "X" leads her to encounters ranging from a meeting with Blighty, a word born during the first World War, to meeting with Grandmother Indo-European, who introduces Eileen to a number of her "language children." Embellished by Stuart Hay's charming illustrations, this "life story of our Word friends" will appeal to readers young and old who delight in the sounds and sense of language."
