A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry HinesHines’ 1968 novel explores the life of troubled teenager Billy Casper, who lives in a bleak Yorkshire mining town, with little scope for romance or hope. Billy’s life holds no interest or meaning for him until he finds a kestrel hawk and teaches himself falconry. In doing so, he learns unforgettable life lessons of trust, responsibility and love. Ken Loach’s 1969 film adaptation Kes is a classic of modern British cinema and a film that is still talked about by people who remember its original release. Film fans and readers should come and join the debate on what makes this such a special story.
