This book is a celebration of all things nocturnal, a hymn to night-time wildlife, travel, dreams and art. Along the way, Dan Richards meets a fascinating array of people who labour while the rest of us sleep, and brings their work into the light. From night terrors to the glow of watching the dawn break on the summer solstice, this volume will change the way you think about the hours after dark.
