Description
No Way But Gentleness: A Memoir of How Kes, My Kestrel, Changed My Life
Richard Hines' life was forever changed when he stumbled upon a nest of kestrels in the grounds of a medieval manor. His fascination with these birds led him to study ancient falconry texts and eventually train his own kestrel, Kes. This memoir is a moving account of one boy's love for nature and his quest to find salvation in the natural world.
Richard's experiences with kestrels not only inspired Barry's classic novel A Kestrel for a Knave but also influenced the making of Ken Loach's iconic film Kes. In this superb memoir, Richard shares his remarkable story of passion, perseverance, and self-discovery.
