Visit John Howe’s Lost Worlds!

Just a month or so before we started BSCKids, I got a query to do something with Lost Worlds at BSC. This is a book recommended for ages 9-12 from Kingfisher (Macmillan) and by an artist that’s well known in the fantasy community–John Howe. Perhaps most notably, Howe did the concept art for the Lord of the Rings films, and the foreword for Lost Worlds is by none other than Ian Mckellen (Gandalf, Magneto) himself films and below we have a clip/book trailer where he talks Lost Worlds

What’s Lost Worlds about?

From the world of Aratta and Mohenjo-Daro to Atlantis and Camelot, this visually stunning book is a window with a view that takes readers on an historical, archaeological, and mythological journey through lost worlds, those abandoned in time, buried and forgotten, and the ones that live in the imagination. Attempting to put the most plausible pieces of history together, John Howe, concept artist for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, begins the journey that will move readers to explore these lost worlds even further.
