With a foreword by Helen Macdonald, author of the
multi-award-winning H IS FOR HAWK. 'No hawk can be a pet. There is
no sentimentality. In a way, it is the psychiatrist's art. One is
matching one's mind against another mind with deadly reason and
interest. One desires no transference of affection, demands no
ignoble homage or gratitude. It is a tonic for the less forthright
savagery of the human heart.' First published in 1951, T.H. White's
memoir describes with searing honesty his attempt to train a wild
goshawk, a notoriously difficult bird to master. With no previous
experience and only a few hopelessly out-of-date books on falconry
as a guide, he set about trying to bend the will of his young bird
Gos to his own. Suffering setback after setback, the solitary and
troubled White nonetheless found himself obsessively attached to
the animal he hoped would one day set him free.
