Storylines: 1) Halic: The Story of a Grey Seal: \"'He was born on the running tide. The sea and the rain cleaned him, the wind dried him, and the sun-hot stones warmed his body. He was an Atlantic grey seal, and his name was Halic.' But Halic's mother does not nurse him for long. Two weeks later, a storm separates them and washes the young seal away from his home beach. Alone in a pitiless environment, Halic must learn to defend himself against the predators that threaten his life.\"; 2) In the Shadow of the Falcon: \"In the wild places of Britain, the peregrine Falcon still glides and swoops through the clear, cold skies. The windswept island of Ramsey is the territory of Freya and Frika: fierce and beautiful peregrines. There they hunt, feed and protect their young. But always in the background there is man. -Man with his guns, his traps, his poisons, and his blind, unthinking talent for destruction; 3) The Running of the Deer - \"his name was Rhus, and he came with the dawn, to lie sprawled and shivering on the short, dew-drenched turf of the combe. On Exmoor, the Red Deer roam free over wild, wooded hills. But even in their last natural stronghold, they face the constant threat of violence and even extermination. Rhus must grow up in a hostile world where the struggle for survival is made even more perilous by the thoughtless and destructive cruelty of man.\"","brand":"Arrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53749489893718,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780099108009_1_dae00be2-2032-4941-8f9b-c0a8c60a3f53.jpg?v=1781791310","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/clarkson-ewan-in-the-shadow-of-the-falcon-9780099108009","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
