The Hawk of the Castle: A Story of Medieval Falconry

Gentle verse and sweeping, majestic artwork set imaginations soaring in a handsome and illuminating ode to the ancient art of falconry.

Join a young girl and her father, the falconer at a medieval castle, as they experience the joys of taking a goshawk out for a training flight. The girl leads readers through all the preparations and equipment needed for the flight â€” from the hawkâ€™s hood and bells to the falconerâ€™s gloves â€” culminating in a dramatic demonstration of the hawkâ€™s hunting skill. Bagram Ibatoullineâ€™s masterful illustrations capture the vivid details and beauty of a day spent hawking, while Danna Smithâ€™s poetic storytelling will make readers long to experience the art and sport of falconry firsthand.
