Description

The Peregrine, a seminal work of British nature writing, has been reissued to celebrate its 50th anniversary. First published in 1967, this book tells the story of the author's observations of peregrines on the Essex coast, where they spend the winter months hunting pigeons and waders.

Set against the desolate landscape of the marshes, J. A. Baker's unique perspective on the natural world has captivated readers for generations. This new edition features an exclusive afterword by Robert Macfarlane, one of the book's greatest admirers.

a worthwhile read for anyone interested in nature, wildlife, and the human relationship with the environment, The Peregrine is a timeless and thought-provoking work that continues to inspire and inform readers today.
