About the author

Zillah Katherine MacDonald was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and married Colin MacDonald. She is noted for children's books, like "Mystery Of The Piper's Ghost", along with a series of career romances.

"Eileen's Adventures In Wordland" is her first novel, a real delight for lovers of wordplay. Eileen's companion, X, leads her to encounters ranging from meeting Blighty, a word born during the first World War, to Grandmother Indo-European, who introduces Eileen to a number of her language children. Embellished by Stuart Hay's charming illustrations, this story will appeal to readers young and old who delight in the sense of language.
