****************************************************************************************************
Ever wondered how to predict the weather just by looking at the
sky? Or wanted to attract butterflies to your garden? Is there a
knack to building the perfect bonfire? And how exactly do you race
a ferret? In this world of traffic tailbacks, supermarket shopping
and 24-hour internet access, it's easy to feel disconnected from
the beauty and rhythms of the natural world. If you have ever gazed
in awe at stars in the night's sky, tried to catch a perfect
snowflake or longed for the comfort of a roaring log fire, then
this is the book for you. From spotting Britain's five kinds of owl
to gardening by the phases of the moon, from curing a cold to
brewing your own ale, and from navigating by the stars to making
sloe gin, Red Sky at Night is packed with instructions and lists,
ancient customs and old wives tales, making it an indispensable
guide to countryside lore.
