"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. Long out-of-print, this high-quality limited edition reprint provides the first opportunity for many falconers to read of - and enjoy - the flights, fortunes and reminiscences of a celebrated old falconer of the past.
