Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments The Nocturnal Naturalist, Cathy Johnson, 1989, United States, JOURNAL

"...Sometimes she wanders at dusk or predawn, sometimes at midnight; sometimes she goes by car, sometimes she simply rambles around her own backyard. Always she tells us what she sees, hears, touches, smells, until the night becomes alive. Her words are lyrical, dense; her sense of detail is exquisite; her knowledge as a naturalist makes the book fascinating and educational..."
