X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In 1901\, the word &lsquo\;Bondmaid&rsquo\
 ; was discovered missing from the&nbsp\;Oxford English Dictionary. This is
  the story of the girl who stole it. Esme is born into a world of words. M
 otherless and irrepressibly curious\, she spends her childhood in the &lsq
 uo\;Scriptorium&rsquo\;\, a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a t
 eam of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first&nb
 sp\;Oxford English Dictionary. Esme&rsquo\;s place is beneath the sorting 
 table\, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word &l
 squo\;bondmaid&rsquo\; flutters to the floor. Esme rescues the slip and st
 ashes it in an old wooden case that belongs to her friend\, Lizzie\, a you
 ng servant in the big house. Esme begins to collect other words from the S
 criptorium that are misplaced\, discarded or have been neglected by the di
 ctionary men. They help her make sense of the world. Over time\, Esme real
 ises that some words are considered more important than others\, and that 
 words and meanings relating to women&rsquo\;s experiences often go unrecor
 ded. While she dedicates her life to the&nbsp\;Oxford English Dictionary\,
  secretly\, she begins to collect words for another dictionary: The Dictio
 nary of Lost Words.</p>\n<p>Burke Book Club meets on&nbsp\;the third Wedne
