## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for teens and adults alike
*by S***E on March 3, 2013*

This is a wonderful coming of age book that has not dated since it was written in the late 1960's. The issues the main character face are as real today as they were back then. The title and theme of the story makes a respectful nod to the C15th quote from the Boke of St. Albans...' An Eagle for an Emperor, a Gyrfalcon for a King; a Peregrine for a Prince, a Saker for a Knight, a Merlin for a Lady; a Goshawk for a Yeoman, a Sparrowhawk for a Priest, a Musket for a Holy Water Clerk, a Kestrel for a Knave'. The main character Billy is every bit the C20th Yorkshire knave.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Compelling Read
*by W***N on January 26, 2014*

The plight of Billy Casper draws you in completely. It makes you wonder how he will survive each obstacle. For me, I enjoyed the language and the glimpse into life in a mining community.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting to compare book to movie
*by H***K on December 18, 2012*

The book does not give a compelling or dramatic story, but it does snapshot into a time and place that is interesting in a social or cultural way. I think both the book and movie are worthwhile to read or see. I'm glad I did so again after first seeing the movie years ago.
