THE GOSHAWK. By T.H. White. New York Review Books Classic.
(1951) 2007 US pbk reprint. Paperback. Ppxv,215, ad. Introduction by Marie Winn.
White's terrific narrative of manning and flying his goshawk. A classic. "The Goshawk is the story of a concentrated duel between Mr. White and a great beautiful hawk during the training of the latter - the record of an intense clash of wills in which the pride and endurance of the wild raptor are worn down and broken by the almost insane willpower of the schoolmaster-falconer. It is comic; it is tragic; it is all absorbing. ...we may be sure that the experiences recorded in The Goshawk have marked Mr. White for life."
