LIFE ON THE WING is a delightful, lavishly illustrated story-book about adventures with hawks, falcons, & owls. Like a journey on a magic carpet into the world of nature seen by few people, these engaging, often funny, sometimes tragic stories take you on exciting trips with the author & friends as they go afield in western North America with their avian & canine hunting partners. This big (11 x 8 1/2) book, destined to be a classic, contains 25 full-page color plates & over 75 B&W photographs that illustrate the sheer beauty & power of birds of prey, & provide images of the characters, settings, dogs, & game species artfully described in the text. Original paintings by English masters G.E. Lodge & David Reid-Henry will please the eye of the nature-lover who appreciates fine art. A strong metaphysical theme underlies LIFE ON THE WING: Hawks & falcons are animal envoys of the Unseen Power that can guide us into a wonderful world known to few 20th-century people. No expense was spared in the production of this luxury edition printed on 80-pound acid-free paper & color plates on 100-pound acid-free paper.
