The classic book that inspired Kes, the famous film, now published
as a Penguin Essential for the first time. Barry Hines's A Kestrel
for a Knave was published in 1968, and was made into one of the key
British films of the sixties. Billy Casper is beaten by his drunken
brother, ignored by his mother and failing at school. He seems
destined for a hard, miserable life down the pits, but for a brief
time, he finds one pleasure in life: a wild kestrel that he has
raised and tamed himself.
