Author Barry Hines, whose novel "A Kestrel For A Knave" captured the spirit of 1960s British working-class youth and was the basis for Ken Loach's award-winning film "Kes", has died, friends said Sunday.
"Very sad news: the great writer Barry Hines, creator of Barnsley's defining myth A Kestrel For A Knave, has died. Rest in peace," poet Ian McMillan, who shared a publisher with Hines, wrote on Twitter.
