Good only. "There are many books about birds, but this must surely be one of the most delightful ever produced. Mr von Michaelis' classic bird drawings come as near perfection as anything of their kind.

Birds of prey have always been his especial interest, and he has successfully reared eagles, owls, hawks and falcons. Birds of the Gauntlet is the fascinating story of these birds: how they were acquired and grew up; their many adventures, some funny, some sad; and, finally, what became of them.".…
