The Peregrine Sketchbook

Rating:
Summary: An emotive introduction to an influencial artists work.
Review: C.F.Tunnicliffe was one of the most significant British wildlife artists of the 20th century. This book draws together his own words and pictures of the Peregrine falcon, a bird that has suffered greatly over recent years. Robert Gillmor introduces the book before Tunnicliffe's own words take you to the dizzying heights of South Stack, Anglesey, where he records the struggle of a pair of Peregrine as they raise their young high above the Irish Sea. For those privileged to have visited his haunts, the book is an emotive return. For those of you unfamiliar with Tunnicliffe's Cob, Malltraeth and Shorelands retreat, this will surely whet your appetite. I hope that you feel inspired to add this book to your Tunnicliffe collection, and if new to his work, feel bold enough to explore his adopted home in North Wales through his artist eyes.
