Some use, end-papers sl marked Good-plus in dust-wrapper. "The author's advice is based on more than 30 years' personal experience, embracing not only sparrow-hawks and other short-wings, but practically every falcon or hawk used in falconry, from gyr-falcon and saker to merlin and shikra." "First published in 1960 this book has been out of print for six years. In the meantime it has, as was suggested on publication, become a classic and the definitive work on the training of short-winged hawks. It is, therefore, with some pride that we are now able to announce the second edition of A Hawk for the Bush, which has not only been re-set but includes a chapter on health and diseases which has been completely re-written by a veterinary expert as well as a chapter on the breeding of sparrow hawks and other short-wings, but practically every other falcon or hawk used in falconry, from gyr-falcon and saker to merlin and shikra. The sparrow-hawk remains, however, the heroine of this book. Her training and management are dealt with in detail from her first day in the mews till the day when, a fully-trained hawk, she starts killing her own quarry." .

First Edition
4to. XVI, 144 pp. With 7 numbered plates (4 of which coloured) and several black and white illustrations in the text. Original full cloth with stamped falcon to front cover and stamped spine-title. First edition. - A standard work of modern falconry literature by one of the most renowned falconers of the 20th century, the British lawyer Mavrogordato (1905-87). This "excellent book" (Gallagher) is directed at a new generation of falconers choosing to work with the previously frowned-upon sparrowhawks instead of falcons, but also addresses experienced hawkers. It includes observations on the choice of a suitable bird, the treatment of eyasses, the falconer's equipment, and the calling-off of a bird, as well as the animals' diet and health. - The charming illustrations were carried out by the British artist George Edward Lodge (1860-1954), himself an authority on falconry. The plates show muskets and goshawks sitting or in flight; the text illustrations mainly display tools used by the falconer, including hoods, knots, and perches. - Title-page slightly foxed, otherwise in excellent condition. - Gallagher, Falcon Fever 85. Oelgart 29B. OCLC 6399849.
