Description

About the Book

An illuminating exploration of the remarkable and often surprising relationship between the natural world, human life and our long-standing obsession with twilight, that most otherworldly time of day.

Book Synopsis

Every day, just before sunrise and straight after sunset, magic happens. Dawn and dusk - those fleeting, half-lit hours - are when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Skies flare with colour, landscapes shift in mood and an unseen cast of creatures emerges from the shadows. Welcome to twilight.

In THE SECRET WORLD OF TWILIGHT, author and smallholder Sally Coulthard invites us into this magical in-between realm, where seductive night-blooming flowers open, secretive mammals stir, giant moths reign and fantastical sea creatures ride the tide. Twilight profoundly affects human life too - but in our age of electric light and closed doors, we've almost forgotten how to see it.

Blending natural history, folklore and memoir, Coulthard reveals twilight as a vital, liminal force: one that has inspired awe for millennia and still has the power to illuminate our daily lives.

Review Quotes

"Praise for A Short History of the World According to Sheep:
A snappy, stimulating book, and certainly not just for shepherds. - Mail on Sunday

Sally Coulthard's story of how sheep shaped the human story is full of rich pickings... Full of fascinating social history. - Independent

Global in scope, with fascinating vignettes from the ancient world to the present day, this is anything but woolly." --BBC History Magazine
