Guy de la Valdène's beautifully written essay (and first book) is an ode to an iconic bird, part natural history, and part hunting memoir. It's a well-regarded and undisputed classic, an edgy, elegant examination of the habits and history of a reclusive gamebird, the Woodcock, native to Europe and North America, a bird that's been hunted and celebrated since Roman times. Valdene writes exuberantly of the bird, the hunt, and the feast, gracefully balancing the obsessions of a naturalist, sportsman, and gourmand.
