The Hood and the Leash - Reminiscences of a Falconer

By J.P. Hamilton and John Potter Hamilton

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on falconry, together with interesting anecdotes, notes on natural history, instructions for care and maintenance, and more. Full of practical tips and interesting information, this volume will appeal to both existing and prospective falconers, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Revival of Falconry", "Modern Falconry", "Memoir of John Pells, Deputy - Falconer of the Duke of St. Albans", "The Courtship of the Wild Falcon", "A Flight at the Carrion Crow", "Grouse Hawking", "Flights at the Black Grouse and Wild Du", "Partridge Hawking", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on falconry.
