The Goshawkby T H Whitepublished by Jonathan Cape 1951 1st edition 1st printingIn very good condition in very good unclipped dust jacket free from nicks and tears, very lightly rubbed to head and base of spine. No inscription, bookplate to front paste down otherwise clean throughout. Includes a clippingfrom the Radio Times 21st August 1969 previewing a BBC2 adaptation of the book. The author's account of his concentrated duel with a beautiful hawk during its training. It is a record of an intense clash of wills in which the pride and endurance of the wild raptor are worn down by the almost insane willpower of the schoolmaster falconer.
