Review:
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)
About the Author:
James Attlee lives in Oxford and works in art publishing in London. He is the author of Isolarion: a Different Oxford Journey and the co-author, with Lisa Le Feuvre, of Gordon Matta-Clark: The Space Between.
