Night Life

Walking Britain’s wild landscapes after dark





In a follow-up to the 'spellbinding' Nightwalking, John Lewis-Stempel ventures out into Britain's wildest landscapes in search of a sky full of stars.

In Night Life, John Lewis-Stempel heads back out into the night to discover how nocturnal wildlife takes charge of their ink-black domain. As humans we stumble, clumsy in the dark, so how do the creatures of the night take on a new strength as the sun sets?

Using the stars above as his guide, and only his faithful dog by his side, he moves across the wilderness to explore the effect the night has on our senses, and see what we can learn from our animal friends.
