The Black Pigeon; Anne Austin
	The Black Pigeon is a bit of a murder mystery rather than a pigeon story. It was first published in 1929. It must have been popular in that day because this is the third printing done on October, 1929. The first and second printing were both in March of that year. As one might expect from a book that is over 80 years old, there is certainly a bit of wear, staining and some foxing. There is a Christmas gift inscription from Neal to Elizabeth.

Squeak; John Bowen
	Squeak is a story told from the pigeon's point of few. We learn that she is the sensitive child of a patrician mother and father born from the urban slums, only to be orphaned soon after she was born. She witnessed her brother's death and only survived herself by a kind of preternatural determination. Raised by stranger, she was shy awkward, a misfit no matter where she landed, but alas she had a son upon which she lavished all the affection she had been denied only to lose him. A romantic story. A story of gallantry made all the more remarkable because Squeak is a pigeon. Hardback published in 1984, but this copy is near mint with a very good jacket

Surely they cannot go far, but though often tantalizingly in sight, they manage to evade the anxious children who set out to bring them home. Iin their search they find much more than what they anticipated. Fist edition published in 1968, but still in near mint condition with a very good jacket.
