Description
For ten years, writer John Alec Baker followed peregrine falcons—the fastest birds on the planet. Pushing through forests, gardens, and wastelands along the English coast of the North Sea, he observed how they track prey, lie in wait, hunt, and kill.
The deeper he immersed himself in the world of these beautiful but ruthless creatures—who in those years had been on the brink of extinction—the more it felt as if he himself had begun to live by their laws and see with their eyes. “Peregrine,” first published in 1967, is a recognized masterpiece of naturalist prose, where scientific accuracy joins rare poetic power, and observing a bird turns into an experience of inner transformation.
