Description
The memoirs of an Afgan falconer. This must-have volume covers all of the birds of prey employed in falconry from India and the surrounding area. Osman is a master of the art of falconry and a real treasure of knowledge. Stephen Bodio writes, “Perhaps no falconry write since D.Arcussia or even Frederic II has had such a breadth of experience. Read, learn from, and, above all, enjoy this book, both a collection of tales and a manual of soon-to-be-lost techniques. S.M. Osman is one of the world’s last master. If the falconry community were a country like Japan, it would declare him a living treasure. Cloth with gold stamp, color end sheet maps with outstanding photography and sketches.”
