White's tale of his attempts to acquire and train a goshawk in an era when the art had almost vanished, is quite interesting on its own. But what elevates it out of the ordinary are his side-trips into his worldview and philosophy, elegantly and passionately set down.
Readers familiar with White's magnificent "Once and Future King" will see the seeds of many characters, scenes, and worldviews in this slim little volume.
