I've read this before and it is as rich as the first time.

The book follows the career of Jim Stonor, an artist driven by the stories his father told him about the last sea eagle in Skye. It is a slow, comfortable read that takes you to the fishing village of Deal, England, London, NY and Scandinavia.

The Stonor Eagles William Horwood 9780531098738 Books Reviews

I am not a person who easily 'gets into a book'. It has to be something very special to keep my interest. William Horwood's 'The Stonor Eagles' not only managed to hold my interest - it totally captivated me with its content. I would go so far as to state that it is the most beautifully written book I have ever cast eyes on. The author had obviously researched his subject very thoroughly and was therefore able to weave the factual aspect into the wonderfully imaginative fiction so successfully. This book is truly a work of art and I challenge anyone to read it without being emotionally moved!
William Horwood's book, "The Stonor Eagles" is most definitely a most beautifully written piece of literary art. I love it like a dear friend and will read it again and again.
Mr. Horwood captures the essence of a creative being, and through the simultaneous story of a man and the survival of sea eagles, brings courage and joy to the act of creation. As with all of his books, truth is exposed on all levels and given the depth and richness of a heart filled with love and reverance for life. This story will always live in my heart as my own "wings" to freedom. No matter how deep my despair or how high my glory, "The Stonor Eagles" gives me the ability to find my own worth and inner power, and inspires me to do and be what I'm here for - being alive as a conduit for Source filled vision and the sharing of Knowledge from Within; "true flight" of the spirit.
I was just looking downstairs and saw my copy of Stonor Eagles, a book I have visited in text and memory many times. A book of fantasy, imagination, history, art and growing up in the sixties in rural and urban England. Most of all it is a story in the first person of Sea Eagles and their fight for survival against the encroachment of humans and science (chemicals). It is inspiration on a different level, against all odds, but recent history shows that Cuillons flight and her daughter's persiverence has won through with the re-establishment of sea eagle colonies on the west coast of Scotland (Rhum).
I think that now is a good time to revisit James McKaskell Stonor.
Is this book really fiction? Or is it fact? Or is it what many people now call faction?

For me, in my tiny mind, it became reality. This was down to Horwood's terrifically powerful story-telling. He captivated me completely and I really believed the events that he was describing, even down to the conversations between the eagles.

As is the case with Skallagrigg, there are two intertwined stories in this book, which eventually bind together.

I came to love Jim MacAskill Stonor a confused boy growing up in a dysfunctional family in Deal (shades of The Boy with No Shoes), a man overcoming many difficulties, a great artist who draws, paints and sculpts eagles.

I came to love Cuillin the last great sea eagle of Skye, who makes it to the coast of Norway and dedicates the rest of her life to returning her kind to the mountains which gave her her name.

I came to love the people, well most of them, who surrounded Jim through his trials and tribulations. And I came to love the sea eagles, well most of them, who flew with and against Cuillin and her offspring.

But I really did believe in the tales that I was reading. I became emotionally involved. I even shed a few tears from time to time.

What greater testimony can a writer have for his work?

So, I can hear you asking me, "Why didn't you give The Stonor Eagles five gleaming stars?"

The answer is that I found it very heavy going. It is 600 pages of condensed print. Reading this book was genuinely tiring. As my favourite reading time is between when my head finally hits the pillow at night and when I turn over to go to sleep, I could usually only manage to get through a few pages per session. So it took me a long time to read. But it was worth it. I thoroughly recommend this book to all of my friends.

I already want to read it again! Alas. I have too many books on my to-read pile, and must move on.
Amust read for anyone who has a love of nature
