A review by raptorsandprey
The Goshawk by T.H. White

2.0

I'm not convinced at all. White justifies his failures by claiming that Edmund Bert's account on falconry published in 1619 is outdated. This is only a poor excuse. The focus of falconry might have shifted over the centuries and methods have been developed to simplify the art. However, the underlying procedures of practical falconry are the same now as they were then. White's failures are not the result of following Bert's advice, they are rather caused by NOT sticking to them, which happens quite a lot throughout the book.
