Classic but antiquated work on the art of falconry with ample commentary including a plea for the future of the sport. Some sneering at Americans' lack of aptitude and patience required to train and work with hawks. Blaine is probably right. Blaine's book was a major reference in Helen McDonald's wonderful H is for Hawk.

I have always been interested in falconry (ever since I read the My Side of the Mountain Trilogy) and I picked this book up from a used book seller at an SCA event. It was first published 1936 and my copy was reprinted in 1974. This may be an old book, but the art of falconry is even older so I do believe it merits reading. While reading it, it felt like being on a stroll with a charming Englishman who is giving you the ins and outs of the sport. There is a lot of good advice and I feel as if I learned the basics of Falconry. Unfortunately, I also learned that I don't have the time to do it now as much as I would like to.
