Chris Yates, one of Britain's most insightful & lyrical writers, raises his gaze from his beloved rivers & ponds & takes us on a mesmerizing tour of the British countryside. Last November, the sudden appearance of a hundred wintering ravens in a wood in Cranborne Chase, where I have lived for twenty-five years without seeing more than a few solitary specimens, reminded me that there is always something ready to flame up again in the landscape, just when it seemed the fire had gone out. In Nightwalk we accompany Chris Yates on the most magical of journeys into the very heart of the British countryside. His acute observation of the natural world & ability to transcend it exquisitely sets Chris apart from his contemporaries. Time slows down for a deeper intimacy with nature, & through Chris's writing we hear every rustle of a leaf, every call of a bird. He widens the power of our imagination, heightening our senses & revealing beauty in the smallest details. ...
