Beschreibung
H is for Hawk, Helen MacDonald, 2014, First Edition First Impression, V Rare Helen MacDonald had yearned to be a falconer as a young girl. Years later when her father died suddenly she became obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, driven on by the memories of reading T.H.White's "The Goshawk" and his description of the struggle to train the goshawk as a spiritual contest. H is for Hawk won the Samuel Johnson and Costa Book of the Year prizes. The judges were particularly attracted to the clever interplay of themes - the spiritual journey and outpouring of grief, the biographical referencing to T.H.White and the simple depiction of nature at its most beautiful. As an unproven writer the first print run was rather small and therefore first impressions of the first edition are exceedingly rare. In fine condition, the binding is straight and tight, the boards clean and the lettering on the spine bright. The end papers and pages are free from marks, tears and inscriptions. The unclipped dust jacket is in good condition with two tears to the corners of the top edge of the spine and nibbling to the top edge of the front cover. Will be dispatched carefully wrapped in bubblewrap and a cardboard box. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 03343
