Thesaurus Scienta Lancastriae is a collaborative work between six-year old Jack Aylward-Williams and his father Robert Williams . In this book, Jack explains the world to his father, an artist and academic, who translates its cosmology to the reader. This project uses Williamson's Park in Lancaster as a microcosm of the world, encompassing disciplines of geology, botany, zoology, physics, arboriculture, anthropology and many others. Thesaurus Scienta Lancastriae was shortlisted for the prestigious AXA/Art Newspaper Exhibition Catalogue Award.
