Books
Experience the art and sport of medieval falconry first hand in this story of a young girl and her father who take a hawk out for a training flight at the castle. The girl leads readers through all the preparations and equipment needed for the flight - from the hawk's hood and bells to the falconer's gloves - culminating in a dramatic demonstration of the bird's hunting skill. Bagram Ibatoulline's masterful illustrations capture the vivid details and beauty of a day spent hawking, while Danna Smith's poetic storytelling transport readers to the majesty of medieval times.
