'Britain's finest living nature writer' THE TIMES 'Lewis-Stempel's
greatest gift remains his prose, with all its vividness and energy'
THE DAILY MAIL 'The hottest nature writer around' THE SPECTATOR At
night, the normal rules of Nature do not apply. In the night-wood I
have met a badger coming the other way, tipped my cap, said hello.
The animals do not expect us humans to be abroad in the dark, which
is their time, when the world still belongs to them. That was in
winter. The screaming of a tawny owl echoed off the bare trees. For
all of our street-lamp civilization, you can still hear the call of
the wild. If, if, you go out after the decline of the day... As the
human world settles down each evening, nocturnal animals prepare to
take back the countryside. Taking readers on four walks through the
four seasons, acclaimed nature writer and farmer John Lewis-Stempel
reveals a world bursting with life and normally hidden from view.
Out beyond the cities, it is still possible to see the night sky
full of stars, or witness a moonbow, an arch of white light in the
heavens. It is time for us to leave our lairs and go tramping. To
join our fellow creatures of the night.
