By John Lewis-StemplePublished by Transworld Publishing Ltd £9.99 At night, the normal rules of Nature do not apply. In the night-wood I have met a badger coming the other way, tip ped 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. 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. Show more
