H Is For Hawk : The Birds And Bees
Paperback Edition: 1
WINNER OF THE 2014 SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE
The Birds and the Bees series was designed for Vintage Classics by Timorous Beasties, the Scottish studio famous for their designs inspired by the natural world.
As a child, Helen Macdonald was determined to become a falconer. Years later, when
her father died, she became obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk. She bought Mabel for 800 on a Scottish quayside and took her home to Cambridge, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. Her story is an unflinchingly honest account of Macdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming.
