About the book

Barry Hines's A Kestrel for a Knave follows Billy Casper, a working-class boy growing up in a Yorkshire mining community. Alienated from school and family life, Billy finds purpose in training a young kestrel he names Kes. The novel combines social realism with a moving portrayal of freedom, isolation and a child whose intelligence is overlooked by the adults around him.
