"Zauberworte" ist ein von Quint Buchholz zusammengestellter Band von Wort- und Bildpaaren.
Auf der linken Seite steht das Zauberwort, das durch die Bildwahl von Buchholz illustriert, interpretiert und fortgeführt wird.
Dies ist kein Buch zum Lesen, sondern ein Buch zum Träumen und Meditieren.
Wunderschöne Bilder, die durch das dazu ausgewählte Wort zu neuen Fantasiereisen einladen.
