Description
THE EYE OF THE WIND is the autobiography of a
great naturalist, sportsman, nature artist, and adventurer. Peter
Scott's father, Captain Robert Falcon Scott, became a national hero when
he died tragically in the Antarctic in 1912, leaving his young son a
legacy of fame and honor.
Peter Scott grew up amongst distinguished
people and memorable events. Once, at the age of four, he created
consternation on the lawns of Buckingham Palace by insisting that Queen
Alexandra play "trains" with him. The playwright James Barrie was his
beloved godfather. Axel Munthe invited him to San Michele. Among the
other famous men of the time who came to his family's house were Lord
Asquith, George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, and Lord Baden-Powell.
Peter
Scott was at first a hunter. Later at Cambridge, as a zoology
student, Scott could not work up much enthusiasm for dissecting voles,
much preferring to study living animals. The
discovery that he could actually sell his under-graduate paintings led
him to the serious study of art. It is in fact as a painter of birds
that he is best known in this country.
