Synopsis

Gentle verse and sweeping, majestic artwork set imaginations soaring in this illuminating ode to the ancient art of falconry.

Experience the art and sport of medieval falconry first hand in this story of a young girl and her father who take a hawk out for a training flight at the castle. The girl leads readers through all the preparations and equipment needed for the flight – from the hawk’s hood and bells to the falconer’s gloves – culminating in a dramatic demonstration of the bird's hunting skill. Bagram Ibatoulline’s masterful illustrations capture the vivid details and beauty of a day spent hawking, while Danna Smith’s poetic storytelling transport readers to the majesty of medieval times.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Bagram Ibatoulline was born in Russia and art has always been part of his life. First he attended the Children’s Art School for five years which was followed by four years at the Art College of Kazan and then the State Art Institute of Moscow for five years. His first book was Philip Booth's "Crossing", named a 2001 Best Book by Publishers Weekly. Bagram is adept at painting in different styles, from his illustrations for Deborah Noyes's "Hana in the Time of the Tulips", which School Library Journal called "a haunting homage to Rembrandt," to the hieroglyphics he painted for James Cross Giblin's "Secrets of the Sphinx". His style changes from project to project and to date, his best known book would be Kate Dicamillo’s "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane". Bagram lives in Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania.
