________________________ 'A beautiful and luminous love letter to the night sky.'- Julian Hoffman, author ofIrreplaceable Moonlight, starlight, the ethereal glow of snow in winter ... When you flick off a switch, other forms of light begin to reveal themselves.

Walking by the light of the moon in Suffolk and under the scattered buckshot of starlight in Scotland; braving the darkest depths of Dartmoor and the glare of 24/7 London,Under the Starsis an inspirational and immersive call to reconnect with the natural world - and to switch off. We only need to step outside to find that, in darkness, the world lights up. Let's look up together. ________________________ 'Enchanting, fascinating and written with real soul and sensitivity.'- Rob Cowen, author ofCommon Ground 'Lyrical, warm, and suffused with the magic of the night' - Patrick Barkham, author ofThe Butterfly Isles 'One of the most inspiring of our young nature writers, with a highly original journey into darkness and night'- Stephen Moss, naturalist and author ofThe Robin: A Biography
