Every day, just before sunrise and straight after sunset, magic happens. Dawn and dusk – those fleeting, half-lit hours – are when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Skies flare with colour, landscapes shift in mood and an unseen cast of creatures emerges from the shadows. Welcome to twilight.
In THE SECRET WORLD OF TWILIGHT, author and smallholder Sally Coulthard invites us into this magical in-between realm, where seductive night-blooming flowers open, secretive mammals stir, giant moths reign and fantastical sea creatures ride the tide. Twilight profoundly affects human life too – but in our age of electric light and closed doors, we’ve almost forgotten how to see it.
Blending natural history, folklore and memoir, Coulthard reveals twilight as a vital, liminal force: one that has inspired awe for millennia and still has the power to illuminate our daily lives.©2026 Sally Coulthard (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la crítica
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! (Brigit Strawbridge Howard, author of DANCING WITH BEES)
Sally Coulthard turns dusk and dawn into the richest of treasure troves; an enthralling and refreshing reminder of the power of light, dark and nature’s magic (Arthur Parkinson)
Sally Coulthard has written a lyrical, moving evocation of the in-between time of twilight. She interweaves intimate reflections from her own life in the countryside with fascinating narratives of the historical, environmental and cultural importance of the liminal moment at the end of day and night. Rich in detail and ranging from crepuscular plants to the near darkness of the deep sea, the book sounds as a plea to remember and protect the magical moments of dusk and dawn (Kat Hill, Wainwright Prize shortlisted author of BOTHY)
Sally Coulthard argues in this charming book that we should eschew artificial lighting and learn once again how to slow down and rejoice in this magical interlude
Coulthard's evocative nature writing is interspersed with well-researched science and historical anecdotes … [she] is a keen and talented observer of the twilight hours
Sally’s personal journey into the magical spaces of dusk and dawn is magical and we’re lucky to be invited in
