Praise for Chris Yates: 'A book of rare insight and beauty' Literary Review 'Beautiful, securely thought, elegantly expressed and subtly responsive writing' The Telegraph 'Wonderful stuff' Independent on Sunday 'There can be few who have explained so elegantly both the zen-like trance of the serious fisherman and the all-too-active comedy of preparation, expedition and return' Guardian 'Lyrical and haunting ... Yates' narrative is presented as an account of a midsummer countryside walk ... Its beauty lies in its tenderness about the world and the author's personal responses to what he hears, feels and smells ...' The Times 'There is no doubt about the elegance and precision of Yates' language, or his ability to conjure up an atmosphere ... perhaps this is the real beauty of Nightwalk, and the true value of Yates' gift as a writer: that it gives back the night to us, offers up a sense of freedom in the place of anxiety, reminds us of the silence in the midst of its bustling life, and soothes our atavistic fear of the dark while never quite permitting us to be complacent.' EarthLines 'Chris's existing and extensive fan-base, the anglers, will find a freedom in Nightwalk ... I believe this is [his] finest work to date ... What is certain, though, is that Nightwalk will delight for many, many years to come.'
