The Goshawk (A Viking compass book, C291)

The Goshawk chronicles a concentrated duel between the author & a great hawk. It's the journal of an intense clash of wills--during the bird's training--in which the pride & endurance of the wild raptor are worn down by the insistent willpower of the falconer. The absorbing story is by turns comic & tragic. (5 1/2 x 8 1/4 w/diagrams)
