About the Book:

Lewis-Stempel argues that in an age of cities and artificial illumination, we have lost touch with the night, the time that human beings are most in touch with later. This book provides a look into the hidden nature of the night-time, from boxing hares to bioluminescence, that will invigorate the reader with joy for the world around them.
