Publisher Description: This antiquarian book constitutes one volume of a detailed and useful guide to falconry, and includes information on celebrated falconers and falconers' clubs. This fascinating and extensively illustrated text will be of considerable utility to modern hawking enthusiasts, and would make for a wonderful addition to collections of related literature. The chapters of this book include: 'Celebrated Falconers'; 'Scotch, Dutch and English Clubs'; 'The Falconer's Club'; 'Colonel Thornton'; 'The Old Hawking Club', etcetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book. It now comes as an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on falconry. |
