"In all of the falconry literature brought forth in the last century, probably none excites the reader as much as Major Hawkins Fisher's book, 'Reminiscences of a Falconer.' In this true wish book, the aspiring falconer can actually go afield with the author, his hawks and dogs, and delight in the hunts he so graphically describes." Hal Webster, 1988.
