Summary: Greatest book ever
Review: Mrs. Holloway's book was a remarkable success. I cried numerous times, and stil cry just thinking about the book. I too am a nature reserver in CT and a member of the NRA. I was very pleased with the book, and I hope she continues to write more. I definetly recommend this to all who love nature. I am falling in love with Sue and her poetic tales of the swans. It is the kind of book that you cannot wait to pick up the next day and endulge in another chapter. I chose to read the book more than once, because there is always something you can look at closer and deeper then perhaps the first time you read it. Please purchase Sue Holloway's book, I absolutley garuntee you will love it. I substitue teach for a History class in high school, and whenever I come in, i take the last 15 or 20 minutes of class to read a selection from the book that I find most interesting. Thank You.

Summary: Poetic and Powerful
Review: Sue Holloway is a scholar and a healer, adept at joining two worlds. In this lyrical and powerful book she brings together the human and the more-than-human, the spiritual and the physical, the broken and the whole. The controversy over whether an "alien" species like the mute swan "belongs" in our American landscape is an apt metaphor for our modern confusion over our relationship with our fellow animals and the land on which we live. This book is must reading for anyone who is grappling with these issues, as well as anyone who has been enchanted by the swan's magnificient grace.

Summary: You will love this book on swans!
Review: Sue Holloway's book Swan in the Grail is a beautiful, evocative description of the world of swans. Her intimate view of them makes us feel a part of their lives. They are family to us. We cheer for Fiona and all of the other swans, hoping they survive all of the obstacles man puts in their way. Holloway meticulously shows us how nature conservation policies toward swans are affecting all of us. We see nature crying out for mercy. The author shows us how we need to learn how to co-exist peacefully with God's creatures in the natural world.

Summary: a forerunner in how environmental issues should be looked at
Review: Swan in the Grail I found to be an epic work devoted to swans in poetic prose. It gives us sage observations based on careful learning from and direct interaction with swans, not only by the author herself, but by humanity throughout time. The author leads us to amazing associations that have come down to us through the ages about the swan.

The author confirms these associations through the references within our many cultures. She describes the associations we might experience with swan, so that we can understand how and why a swan is behaving in a particular way.

She has carefully put into poetic prose what swans are all about, for us to glean from and to extrapolate from, so that we may apply this knowledge to our interaction with our world of living beings around us and no longer allow this condoned abuse of swans

From this epic work comes the realization that not always do our environment protectors truly act in the empirical interest of protection of the environment. We find too many examples deceit by some authorities in the field under the guise of environmental protection.

This book is a forerunner for a change in how environmental issues should be looked at.
