The Goshawk

T.H. White's memoir, first published in 1951 and skillfully narrated by Simon Vance, recounts his intense and honest attempt to train a wild goshawk named Gos. Without prior experience or modern guidance, White grapples with setbacks and challenges in his pursuit, forging a complex relationship with the bird. The book delves into themes of the demanding nature of training and the deep, often conflicted, bond between human and animal.
