Description:
Reissue of J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writing, with an exclusive new afterword by Robert Macfarlane.
Despite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J A Baker spent a long winter looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands – peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them.

Such luminaries as Ted Hughes and Andrew Motion have cited this as one of the most important books in 20th Century nature writing, and the bestselling nature writer Mark Cocker has provided an introduction on the importance of Baker and his work.

Among fragments of letters to Baker was one from a reader who praised a piece that Baker had written in RSPB Birds magazine in 1971. Apart from a paper on peregrines which Baker wrote for the Essex Bird Report, this article – entitled On the Essex Coast – appears to be his only other published piece of writing, and, with the agreement of the RSPB, it has been included in this updated new paperback edition of Baker’s astounding work.

Looks like the image
Color: 01 - Beige, Size: King (108" X 90")
Super happy with the purchase. I went with king size bed for my boyfriend and I, because in the past when we have bought queen size, it seems to just fit the top of my bed and not go over. Also my boyfriend like to hog the blankets so wanted the change to at least still have enough for me. This blanket is perfect for us, helps to keep us warm during the recent cold weather and feels so great against our skin. It feels luxurious, isnt super thin and quality seems great. As soon as we got it I washed it on the sensitive cycle with cold water. Then put it in for air dry in the dryer. It fluffed up by a lot, that I had to run it a couple more cycles and stopping it in between to pull it back out and rearrange it to make sure it was drying, since it would roll up. Near the end when it was almost dry. Not a single speck of lint. Nothing shed off this blanket while it dried, which was such a surprise for me. Hoping to invest in a few more in the future. Very happy with the purchase. It checks the marks for functionality, sleep quality and durability that I have seen for far. It would make a great gift and any moment I could suggest this blanket to a friend I would. I bought two of these for my twins as well to go over another cheaper warm blanket they already had, due to severe winter watch in my area. I wanted to make sure they had all the warmth they needed if power ever went out, thankfully it never did. They were kicking off their other blankets and choosing this one in their sleep over their other one.

Nice throw.
Color: 01 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
Really nice and pretty too. Very soft and warm. The weight of the throw is light but still it's warm. Turning out to be my favorite.
