A Tale of Truth and Daring

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.

A Literary Work of Art

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!

This is a deeply moving and outstanding book.

I was continually amazed at the way in which Mr. Horwood has interweaved two stories, and brought them both to a believable and emotionally satisfying ending. I felt myself joined in spirit to the author and his characters as I read this double story about transformation, spiritual obedience and love of the earth. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation go to William Horwood!

If possible, even better than Duncton.

Intelligent, thought provoking, I was unable to put this book down.The depth of character and understanding and ability to put these forward in a truly awesome literary work was not a work of fiction, more like the creation of an alternative universe. This man, who's Duncton Wood series escalated the entire genre to the highest form of art has merged two worlds into an altogether new one.I cannot praise or rate this novel higher.I have been altered by reading it.Thank You William Horwood.

A captivating tale of flight and fantasy.

James MacAskill Stonor, an artist of international stature has inherited his father's passion for sea eagles and the legends and stories surrounding them.Cuillin is the last of the nearly extinct sea eagles of West Scotland.Two strands of this inspiring story are intervowen in a tale of fear and triumph; true flight and great art, where the bleak peaks of Skye and the fjords of Norway inspire both eagle and artist to find renewed life.This is one book I revisit often when in need of inspiration - and one I NEVER loan!!A gem - worth the effort to locate.
