Shortlisted for the Wales Creative Nonfiction Book of the Year
2019; Rediscover the light in the dark...; 'A treasure of a book,
wonderfully attentive in outlook and generous in spirit.' - Amy
Liptrot; As November stubs out the glow of autumn and the days
tighten into shorter hours, winter's occupation begins. Preparing
for winter has its own rhythms, as old as our exchanges with the
land. Of all the seasons, it draws us together. But winter can be
tough.; It is a time of introspection, of looking inwards. Seasonal
sadness; winter blues; depression - such feelings are widespread in
the darker months. But by looking outwards, by being in and
observing nature, we can appreciate its rhythms. Mountains make
sense in any weather. The voices of a wood always speak
consolation. A brush of frost; subtle colours; days as bright as a
magpie's cackle. We can learn to see and celebrate winter in all
its shadows and lights.; In this moving and lyrical evocation of a
British winter and the feelings it inspires, Horatio Clare raises a
torch against the darkness, illuminating the blackest corners of
the season, and delving into memory and myth to explore the
powerful hold that winter has on us. By learning to see, we can
find the magic, the light that burns bright at the heart of winter:
spring will come again.; __________; 'The natural world has life
and light on even the coldest darkest days of winter and that is
Clare's salvation.' - Susan Hill, Daily Mail Christmas Books;
'Magical, moving and deeply atmospheric' - Patrick Barkham; A
Guardian 'best book of 2018'
