Description
This book, Aloft A Meditation on Pigeons and Pigeon Flying, is a brilliant record of the author’s intense interest in these marvelous birds. It chronicles his love of homers and carriers, Catalonian tumblers and racers, and vividly describes the beauty of the various birds themselves, the excitements of the “invisible race,” and the score of fascinating pigeon aficionados whose lives have become intertwined – through their common love – with his.
This book is for anyone who enjoys great prose about a unique passion.
