Description du produit

Fascinating, thoughtful, erudite, unpretentious, slightly batty and entirely captivating (John Carey Sunday Times )

A poetic and passionate story of light in darkness (The Times )

Vagrant, erudite, frequently comical. A stylist of amazing wit and skill. A compendious, moving and impassioned guide (Irish Times )

Gloriously multifaceted and engaging. A gorgeous, thoughtful book (Sunday Telegraph )

Attlee is a true enthusiast, and is fascinated by, indeed loves, his subject. He writes beautifully and often thrillingly about the moon in all its - her? - aspects, and it will be a dull-minded reader who comes away from this book without a new or at least renewed regard for the extraordinary, silver satellite that is our world's constant companion (John Banville Guardian )

A wistful, fact-filled and esoteric treat (Sunday Times )
