The Prophet: A Word Search Puzzle Book

The Prophet by Khalil Gibran has been published countless times, in countless formats.

What if we tried it differently? A new way that paces the reading and draws you in.

A way where you are no longer only a reader, but an active participant in Gibran’s masterpiece.

How? Words are missing from the original text. You find them in the puzzle grids that punctuate the book, and become something of an echo of the author’s voice.

How it works

• Each gap has one dash for every letter.
• Work out the missing word, then find it in the puzzle grid that follows.
• Words run across, down or diagonally, always forwards.
• The missing words are listed at the end.

What’s inside

• Gibran’s complete 1923 text, from The Coming of the Ship to The Farewell
• 85 missing words and 32 puzzle grids woven through the text
• A short biography of Khalil Gibran
• A contents page and the full list of missing words
