PEREGRINE (50TH ANNIV) (PB)

Despite the association of peregrines with the outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J. A. Baker spent long winters looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands – peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them. This edition, published to celebrate the book’s 50th anniversary, features an afterword by Robert Macfarlane.
