Items related to At Night: A Journey Round Britain from Dusk to Dawn
Synopsis
A quirky, amusing exploration of Britain after dark—includes tips on finding your way by the moon and the stars, and discussions of wildlife and natural history
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 tranquility 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. It’s also a reflection on our relationship with the hours of darkness. 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.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Quirky travel writer, Dixe Wills, uncovers the 'other' Britain - the side revealed only at night. The night time brings calm and tranquillity but is also disorientating, making familiar surroundings foreign. In his journey through the British landscape, Dixe tastes all that the night has to offer - the sights, the sounds, the smells, the people, the animals. It's also a reflection on our relationship with the hours of darkness and why it is sometimes a fearful, yet always a magical place. Discover the dark secrets of Devon, Skomer, Snowdonia, Cumbria, Scotland, London and much more. At Night explores various aspects of unseen Britain - from its mythical beasts and wildlife spectacles, to its sleeper trains and night time sporting events. Dixe also includes tips on walking safely in darkness and finding your way by the moon and stars, and brings up to date a literary tradition of night walking started by Charles Dickens. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR007391978
