Take flight with Gay-Neck, the passenger pigeon with a
shimmery throat, his kind young master and Ghond, the wildlife
expert, on their adventures in a village, across the Himalayas
and to a battlefield in France. In this heartwarming, sometimes
heartbreaking tale, soar through Gay-Neck’s encounters with
hawks and eagles, his quests with the swifts and a monk, and
finally his heroic service as a bearer of messages filled with love
and courage during the First World War.
A prequel to Gay-Neck’s internationally renowned story,
Ghond the Hunter focuses on the first fifteen years in the life
of Gay-Neck’s trainer, Ghond. The young boy’s initiation into
forest life, his understanding of dangerous animals, his run-ins
with eagles, snakes and tigers, and his experiences with his pet
panther make for this riveting tale of a master hunter.
This special edition brings together two classic stories – Gay-
Neck, the Story of a Pigeon and Ghond the Hunter – by Dhan
Gopal Mukerji, the only Indian to have won the John Newbery
Medal. Describing animal life with nail-biting realism, Dhan
Gopal Mukerji’s stories take you to a place where the feral
meets the tame, man meets nature, and all that matters is the
law of the jungle!
