Reissue of J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writing, with an exclusive new afterword by Robert Macfarlane.


Despite the association of peregrines with the wild outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J. A. Baker spent a long winter looking at 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.


Such luminaries as Ted Hughes and Andrew Motion have cited this as one of the most important books in 20th century nature writing, and the best-selling nature writer Mark Cocker has provided an introduction on the importance of Baker and his work.


Among fragments of letters to Baker was one from a reader who praised a piece that Baker had written in RSPB Birds magazine in 1971. Apart from a paper on peregrines which Baker wrote for the Essex Bird Report, this article - entitled 'On the Essex Coast' - appears to be his only other published piece of writing, and, with the agreement of the RSPB, it has been included in this updated new edition of Baker's astounding work.

Arvustused

Passionately fierce but also wonderfully tender Andrew Motion



an inspiring example to future writers, and a gift to lovers of nature. The Times Literary Supplement



a literary masterpiece, one of the 20th centurys outstanding examples of nature writing. Independent



The Peregrine should be known as one of the finest works on nature ever written' BBC Wildlife



some of the most marvellous prose of the twentieth century. Literary Review



A tour de force what can I do except praise writing which involves all the senses? This book goes altogether outside the bird-book into literature. The Sunday Times



A rapt and remarkable book his phrases have a magnesium-flare intensity. Observer



what is certain is that The Peregrine is the most precise and poetic account of a bird possibly of any non-human creature ever written in English prose. Daily Telegraph



J. A. Baker's poetic prose has a hard intensity and an exquisite lyric grace that takes it far beyond the stereotypical stuff of larks ascending and questing voles. Cruelly beautiful and brutally exact, it sees the countryside anew to give us nature in the wild and in the raw. The Scotsman



Including original diaries from which The Peregrine was written and its companion volume, The Hill of Summer, this is a beautiful compendium of lyrical nature writing at its absolute best [ ]. For those with an interest in the Peregrine Falcon or classic natural history writing. Guardian
