ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams is a historical novel set during the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. It follows Esme, a young girl growing up in the Scriptorium, where her father and a team of lexicographers work to define the English language. As Esme becomes more immersed in the world of words, she begins to collect those excluded from the dictionary—especially words related to women and their experiences. The novel explores themes of language, gender, identity, and the power of words, highlighting the often-overlooked voices in history.
