Callanish
One evening, a frightened and bedraggled golden eagle is brought to the London Zoo, his young life constrained to a bleak cage far from his native Scotland. It is tempting for Creggan to forget: to bury memories of the mountain and seas and, above all, the glorious skies of his homeland.
But there is an eagle who won't let him forget, an eagle for Callanish who encourages him to remember every vivid detail - only by remembering can the caged creatures keep themselves truly alive. Creggan owes his survival to Minch. It is she who makes it possible for him to seize his chance of escape when the moment comes, and it is her memory that eventually draws him back to the zoo.
For Creggan has made a vow that he will never leave Minch to face a slow death in her cage.

This is a book I read several times in my teens. I wonder what I would think of it now as an adult?
Lets see if I can get hold of a copy and I will tell you,but as I remember I found the story very unusual and fascinating. Its true that the birds does have some human traits to make us symphatize with them bur there was also enough otherness about their characters that didnt make you think of them as actual humans.
A rare golden eaglet is captured and taken to a zoo where he befriends other birds of prey.in particular a sorrpwful older female eagle who becomes his friend.
The ending especially is very moving.
A bit sad as it seems the golden eagle no longer exist in Great Brian

In a somewhat similar vain as the settings in Watership Down and Hunter's Moon, William Horwood's Callanish is a naturally fantastical tale of eagles longing for freedom beyond the confines of a zoo. What separates this from those stories, beside being about a different species, is the eagles' deep power and knowledge residing in one being passed into another in order to gain strength to take on the unfamiliar, scary world, even if they don't recall who they are or where they came from, while not settling for the confines of familiarity that does more harm than good, even when they don't realize it. The lore the eagles share with each other is spiritually palpable like Hunter's Moon, but without specific godly figures to aspire to. There's another layer of advocacy for naturalism & freedom of captive animals, which are well realized in some of the human characters. It all wrapped up in a decently written, story about maintaining hope for freedom, and having pride in your origins.

RECENSIONE AGGIORNATA
“I ‘se solo’ sono cose di cui si parla senza metterle in pratica, finché il tuo nemico interiore non vince e il tuo desiderio di libertà sarà solo una bugia che ti culla in sogni che iniziano con ‘se solo…’”
Vi siete mai chiesti perché è difficile uscire da una situazione di malessere? Intendo violenze, maltrattamenti, ma anche dipendenze di vario genere o autolesionismo…
A parte le difficoltà più materiali, spesso si aggiunge anche la paura del Dopo, di tutte le incognite che stanno al di là di quella situazione. Per quanto brutta, almeno quella è familiare e magari qualche volta ha anche dei benefici. Si può persino dimenticare di essere in gabbia.
Creggan è una delle ultime aquile reali delle isole britanniche. Viene catturato ancora piccolo e portato allo zoo di Londra, assieme ad altre aquile. La più anziana, Minch, lo incita ogni giorno a ricordare la sua casa e non adagiarsi nelle comodità della gabbia. Per tenere viva la sua indole selvatica gli racconta di Callanish, un luogo sacro per le aquile dove si concentrano antichi poteri.
Durante un temporale, nella gabbia di Creggan si apre un varco e per la prima volta dopo molto tempo lui vede il cielo senza le sbarre nel mezzo. Potrebbe scappare, ma esita, perché quello stesso cielo lo schiaccia con la sua immensità.
Non è più abituato a essere un’aquila.
William Horwood è uno scrittore inglese autore di numerosi romanzi con protagonisti animali, il più celebre dei quali è Ducton Wood (che purtroppo non sono riuscita a trovare). Purtroppo da bambino ebbe un’infanzia difficile: dovette affrontare lo stigma di essere un figlio illegittimo e visse con una madre che lo maltrattava e non aveva nessun attaccamento per lui. Ma non gli impedì di spiccare il volo e divenne un autore molto prolifico di libri per ragazzi.
Il verso di Ultimo “Puoi provare a volare lasciando a terra te stesso” riassume molto bene il significato di questo libro: volare al di sopra del male che subiamo e non esserne più prigionieri è difficile, perché non puoi dimenticare (rimani comunque a terra), ma solo così trovi la pace con te stesso e col resto.
Lo stampo mitico di questo libro di Xenofiction si nota in particolar modo nell’innesto del folklore celtico: le scene con le nebbie mi hanno ricordato tantissimo la saga di MZB e anche la descrizione del sito di Callanish è molto suggestiva.
La prigionia delle aquile è molto accurata sia dal punto di vista naturalistico che umano e ciò conferisce spessore alla narrazione.
È un libriccino piccolo. Se potete recuperatelo.

I read this book for the first time when I was about 10 years old, and I loved it back then. It was a childhood favorite of mine for a very long time. I was so happy to find an old copy of it on a flea market the other day. I still love it, it's a wonderful story.

An young golden eagle called Creggan is captured and brought to the London Zoo. An older female eagle who's been in the zoo for a very long time gives Creggan the strength to survive and to try to escape the zoo. At the same time, a story is told about an older gentleman that works at this zoo. He often sits and watches the bird exhibits. The intertwining of their stories is great.
A good read if you are a bird enthusiast, or even not. I have never been all that interested in birds of any sort. But this book, along with another of his books, The Stonor Eagles, changed my feelings.

4.5 stars. This book reinforced my view that zoos are not ethical places for animals to be confined to. A magical and uplifting story, told with great feeling and sympathy for animals in captivity.

Super Buch! Zwar kurz aber hat mich voll mitgenommen.
November 6, 2025
it was a solid read, the story was okay and it’s good if you can finish it in one sitting (unlike me where it took weeks because I was in a reading slump, although that’s my fault)
Personally I don’t care that much for it, I like it a lot more now that I’m done with it and can look back on the story but I remember hating the writing style (but again, I was also getting tired of how long it was taking to read) it felt like they were wording it backwards
like instead of “he was flying through the sky, the wind lifting him higher.”
it would be “the wind lifted him higher, he was flying through the sky.”
this isn’t an accurate quote but just an example, I know this is very nitpicky but this is just what I noticed and I’m better at complaining then giving compliments lol
there are still things I like about this book of course! The good part about this book is the story itself so if my example didn’t bother you then I definitely recommend reading it yourself

In tears after my second reading of this. What a cruel race we are, putting birds, any birds, in cages. Why would anyone want to go and stare at and photograph a caged bird, in its misery? Defeats my understanding.

The spiritual successor to Horwood’s admirably ambitious, if somewhat lumbering and meandering work The Stonor Eagles, Callanish manages a streamlined approach to similar concepts and themes as it follows the Scottish eagle Creggan. Captured and brought to the London zoo, he befriends his fellow captive Minch, who longs to return to her homeland, while one of their human caretakers, a lonely, war-traumatized Polish expatriate, secretly sympathizes with their desire for freedom. [8/10]

Oh Mr. Horwood, once again you have managed to create a masterpiece of animal fantasy. This book follows all the Horwood trademarks of remarkable attention to natural detail (though markedly toned down from that expressed in Duncton Wood), poignant, thought-provoking expression of universal literary themes, and of course a love for the standing stones of Great Britain, the mysterious and other-worldly natural powers of which also feature so strongly in the Duncton books.
While on the surface simply a short story of an eagle who finds himself imprisoned and, after escaping, lets himself be captured again in order to fulfill a promise of seeing his friends free, this story is in reality so much more than that. What Horwood has done is wrap a very human story in non-human characters (eagles, in this case). It is similar to what he accomplished in the Duncton books, though differs in that instead of the themes taking sort of a back seat to the story (Duncton feels more like an allegory), in Callanish the main theme-- that of freedom and what it means to be free-- is what drives the entire story. In a lot of ways, Callanish is exactly what a literary story featuring animals is ‘supposed’ to look like: one which uses animal characters to better express a part of the human condition. And it does so beautifully.
This novel definitely does make one think about the lives of those we ‘imprison’-- whether they be wild animals in a zoo (definitely a form of imprisonment) or pets whom we keep indoors. By contrasting the plight of the eagles in the zoo with that experienced by the character Mr. Wolski when he was kept in a concentration camp, one is definitely forced to reflect upon the wrongness of keeping others-- whether human or animal-- in a cage or place where they do not wish to be, no matter how well they might be looked after. The bottom line is, every living creature desires its freedom, and most of us would die rather than have that taken away. Just think of wild animals caught in traps, and how many of them would rather chew through their own limbs than be imprisoned. We all need freedom and the ability to move around as we desire, even if we never take full advantage of that possibility. One is not truly alive without freedom, and when kept in captivity for long periods all creatures seem to have a tendency to develop odd and often neurotic behaviors-- in this freedom seems to be essential in keeping our minds/brains healthy, and even our bodies-- since one can whither away in captivity.
That being said, Horwood explores two very different types of freedom in the small scope of this novel. There is the immediate and easily recognizable freedom of the body, which Creggan accomplishes when the roof of his cage caves in and he is able to fly free, and then there is the freedom of the mind (the inner freedom) that Creggan is unable to achieve until he goes back to his state of physical imprisonment and is able to escape again with his friends. This second escape also parallels nicely with Mr. Wolski’s part of the story, since even though he had been living free for more than thirty years at this point in the story, still he is living like a prisoner, with no real life and pretty much surviving day-by-day. Creggan’s second escape and the freeing of his mind/inner soul produces the same kind of effect in Mr. Wolski, as he suddenly finds that with the physical escape of the eagle Minch he is able to make his own ‘escape’ (as it were) and leave the zoo for something he finds more fulfilling.
Callanish really is a simple story, but very beautiful and well put-together-- it packs one hell of a punch.

I was instantly drawn to Horwood's evocative descriptions. His use of language is beautiful and flows. I also liked how the fabled place of Callanish, so revered by the eagles, was actually an animal sanctuary. However I would have preferred more emphasis put on the place itself rather than the fantastical qualities it gave to the eagles who were from there. I found that bit hard to accept - this grand and melodramatic power that whispered in the clouds from this place to these special eagles. That was my main issue with the story. I did, however, love the way the human character of Helmut Wolski was done. I empathised with him when he remembered things from his past as a Jew in a concentration camp, and it felt right to compare him and his experiences and that of a caged wild animal. There could almost have been a whole book from his position one. I was also glad to learn about Sobibor, a concentration camp that "was the scene of the biggest prison escape of the Second World War." I shall research that myself, as takes of human escape and uprising against oppression are always intriguing.

This was a re-read for me. It probably had been about seven or eight years since I last read it and I had forgotten how amazing a read this is.
William Horwood has been a favourite author of mine since I was a teenager. He writes stories about animals being animals incredibly well. This particular one is about golden eagles and follows the journey of a captive juvenile eagle at London Zoo and at the same time follows our human main character, whose path echoes some of the storylines of the eagles. Of course he does anthropomorphize his animal characters to some extent, but his stories hold so much love and respect for the natural world. I love his descriptions of the animals and their surroundings and seeing the world through their eyes.
Something about the way Horwood writes makes me feel all the feels and although this is not a sad story, it is powerful (at least it is for me) and I cried like a baby several times, sometimes out of happiness! Both the eagles' and the human stories broke and warmed my heart. The ending is simply perfect.
An absolute treasure of a short book at under 200 pages. The blurp really does not do it justice.

After having read The Wolves of Time and Duncton Wood I stumbled over this book by Horwood.
It's different from both books mentioned before. The story develops around Creggan, a golden eagle, who is captured and brought to London zoo. There he meets Minch, an old golden eagle, who tells him stories of the wild and keeps his hope to get back to freedom up.
The reader feels with Creggan on all steps, from his capture, to his escape and finally his (short) return to the zoo. Horwood is able to give an great insight into the eagle's minds, lets us see some of their lore and stories. Plus, it is all based on some real sites, the Callanish standing stones are not an imaginative place, you can really see them. That gives the book a better, deeper insight.
If you like animal stories and eagles, I'd say, give this nice little book a try. It's worth it.

The second William Horwood book I have read and once again, a very worthwhile read.
William Horwood is probably the most empathetic author I have ever come across. He tackles really unusual subjects in an imaginative and insightful way. The subject matter of this book are caged birds of prey. The story is told from the point of view of a wild born golden eagle caged at London Zoo and there is a fascinating periphery human character too whose life in some ways parallels the caged birds. I'm not going to say anything more - just read it.

Another amazing wildlife novel by William Horwood. It's not as big as Duncton Wood, but very entertaining nevertheless.. Freedom means a lot to an eagle, an animal who likes to spread it's wings wide and roam free in the blue skies. Caging such a creature's a real sin. I can imagine what sort of a pain this big bird had to go through coz William Horwood has written this book in such a way that you'll feel that you're actually the eagle himself. A great read !!
August 4, 2025
A solid eagle xenofiction. Definitely on the shorter side by Horwood's standards and not as complex in the lore and characters, but still enjoyable and even beautiful at times. I also didn't mind the human-POV sections as Helmut Wolski's story is nicely parallel to that of the eagles and goes well with the themes of freedom and breaking free from (mental) chains.

I read this book several times in my late thirties and then once more in early 40's. I made the grand mistake or some might say generous gesture of loaning it out. I have missed it ever since. It's story is profound and thought provoking and haunts me to this day. Being a lover of birds of prey is just an added bonus. I am so hopeful to have it in my possession again.

A childhood book I never read, remembering the basic plot and cover but forgetting the name. It had been on my mind for many, many years and googling had proved fruitless until I finally came across it quite by accident. I immediately bought a copy and am so glad to have finally read it and put it to rest. A wonderful tale that will warm your heart.
July 6, 2012
Straightforward, powerful writing invoking scenes I know personally - London, the Pennines, Rannoch Moor, the Highlands and Cape Wrath in the the far North. Storytelling as I remember it with struggles that brought tears (again.)
October 8, 2022
This is definitely a worthwhile book. If it weren't so old and therefore the writing kind of... dry, almost... I think it would be 5 stars. As it is however, I did genuinely like it, and I think it's worth reading at least once.
March 6, 2016
I think that this one of Horwoods best books. The story is not too long or too short. The book touches on some of themes that run though Horwood's other works, but there is not any preaching.
July 20, 2011
THis is possibly one of my favourite stories of all time. You feel as if you are part Creggan and how he struggles with the choices he had to make becomes part of your problems also.
April 5, 2011
Oh, I loved this book. Golden eagles escape back to Scotland! I read this on a trip with my parents through Wales when I was 11 or 12 and it was wonderful.
October 17, 2014
Uplifting tale of finding freedom and returning home. It's the simple things that are important in life. Quite an emotional ending. Second reading for me.
March 21, 2013
I love this book every time I read it. So moving and real
June 2, 2014
A fantastic story of captivity told from the pint of view of an Auschwitz survivor looking at an eagle caged in a zoo. Loved it.
