Secret World of Twilight

Sally Coulthard is a bestselling author of over twenty-five books about natural history and rural life including A Short History of the World According to Sheep, The Hedgehog Handbook and A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects. After studying Archaeology and Anthropology at Oxford, and working in factual television production, Sally moved back to her beloved Yorkshire, married a gardener and set up a smallholding; it’s from there, surrounded by her family and other animals, that Sally writes from a shed in the old orchard.

In this beautifully observed and carefully researched book, Sally Coulthard reveals hidden secrets and wonders as she gently draws us into the fleeting worlds of dusk and dawn. Not only have I been enchanted by the mysteries and magic Sally writes about in THE SECRET WORLD OF TWILIGHT, but I now appreciate how very important these liminal hours are to the creatures and plants whose lives they shape, and transform. What a wonderful, captivating book – I loved it!
