The Peregrine

J. A. Baker, 1967

Ten winters following falcons in Essex. Some of the best prose about birds.

Talk about it

  1. What did following one kind of bird for ten winters do to the way Baker sees the world?
  2. What did you make of how Baker writes about the birds and the land?
  3. Is there anything you have watched as closely, or would like to?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
