As a data point, I liked this book but wasn't stunned by it (as some of my friends were). I read The Once and Future King and had The Sword in the Stone on my favorite's shelf as a kid, but I never tried The Goshawk or any of White's non-famous stuff. I enjoyed encountering White's falconry experience second-hand through MacDonald, but still don't feel the need to see it in the original.
