About This Item
London: Collins, 1967. A first edition, first printing published by Collins in 1967. A near fine book without inscriptions in a very good neatly clipped wrapper which is UNFADED on the spine. Some wear and light nicking to the head of the spine with one small closed tear to the head of the front panel. The book chronicles the author's year-long obsession with observing peregrine falcons in the East Anglian countryside of England. Baker's poetic prose and meticulous observations immerse readers in the world of these raptors, capturing their hunting techniques, habits, and the harsh beauty of the landscape they inhabit. His deep connection to the birds becomes a metaphor for his own isolation and the impermanence of life. "The Peregrine" is celebrated for its evocative language and the way it delves into the delicate interplay between humanity and the wild, inspiring subsequent generations of nature writers.
