Book Description: Richard Hines seemed destined for a life without academic achievement until he read TH Whiteâ€™s The Goshawk. And having then borrowed another falconry book from the library, he began to train Kes, the kestrel he found nesting in 16th-century ruins. Thus, as a teenager, began an obsession with hawks and a love of nature that â€“ along with meeting his art student wife Jackie â€“ took him in new directions... deputy head teacher, documentary maker, independent producer for the BBC and Channel 4, and university lecturer and writer among them. Richardâ€™s schoolboy experiences and love of hawks inspired older brother Barry to write A Kestrel for a Knave, a novel that was soon turned into the much-loved and truly iconic 1969 film Kes, directed by Ken Loach. In 2016, the brothersâ€™ upbringing in Hoyland Common, South Yorkshire, were turned by Richard into a factual book of his own: No Way but Gentlenesse: A Memoir of How Kes, My Kestrel, Changed My Life. But time moves on. Richard and Jackie are these days grandparents â€“ and about to pull up their Yorkshire roots to live near their now grown-up son, daughter and granddaughter in Hove on the Sussex coast. Will their heritage let them go?
