Carol Ward

H is for Hawk
Loved the (1) falconry aspect and the interspersed (2) references to T. H. White's own struggles with birds of prey as well as writing. Found the (3) author's remembrances of her late father less interesting. Overall enjoyed the memoir and found myself pursuing the subject of falconry in other books.
