The night is a period of rest and relaxation when we recharge our bodies for the travails of the following day. It is also the time when deeds that are best hidden by a cloak of darkness are carried out - and yet that same darkness can protect the innocent from the predator. It's a period of calm and tranquillity but also a time of disorientation when familiar surroundings become foreign. This is a narrative account of a journey around Britain tasting all that the night has to offer - the sights, the sounds, the smells, the people, the animals. Ten chapters discover the dark secrets of Cornwall, Devon, Skomer, Snowdonia, Cumbria, Scotland, London and much more in an illuminating and inspiring tour of Britain by night. The book explores Britain's wildlife and natural history and also includes tips on walking safely in darkness and finding your way by the moon and stars.
