A MERLIN FOR ME. By John Loft.
1999 1st edition. 8vo (158 x 224mm). Ppix,310. B/w illustrations. Black cloth, spine titled in gilt.
The first book devoted to merlins and lark-hawking. "T.H. White wrote wonderful prose about the essence of falconry; such legendary hawkers as E. B. Michell and Ronald Stevens gave us insights into the birds. Now comes John Loft - poet, amateur zoologist, and living master of merlins, who can do both. There are delights, insights, wit and wisdom on every page." (Steven Bodio). Printed in small numbers, this first edition has become very hard to find.
