The Hawk of the Castle: A Story of Medieval Falconry [SCM]

by Danna Smith Author

Join a young girl and her father, a falconer at a medieval castle, as they experience the joys of taking a goshawk out for a training flight. The girl leads readers through all of the preparations and equipment needed for the flight—from the falconer's glove to the hawk's hood and bells—culminating in a dramatic demonstration of the hawk's hunting skill. Note: The author learned about falconry from her father, who was a falconer.
