Falcons and Foxes in the U.K The Making of a Hunter

A "once-in-a-lifetime" experience chronicled with humor and passion, this memoir details the life-altering 1995 summer during which a nature-lover becomes a hunter. One of those rare quantities, a woman falconer, Chichester discovered that her outlook on the world, nature, and herself changed radically during her pursuit of the ancient art in a foreign country. Training captive-bred, hybrid falcons; riding horseback to the flight of a falcon in pursuit of a crow, belting across the fells and pastures of the United Kingdom; the author deals with fears, preconceptions, and a very steep learning curve, after which she is changed forever.Chichester, A. Lee is the author of 'Falcons and Foxes in the U.K The Making of a Hunter', published 2003 under ISBN 9781401092450 and ISBN 1401092454.
