I had no idea what you expect of this. It turned out to be a charming natural history of India. There first part details habits and appearances of various animals. Three second half describes how pigeons are trained to carry messages. In particular, we follow three boy and his pigeon into tangential service in WWI. Deeply spiritual, there are several visits to the lamasery, for emotional/spiritual healing, with an overarching message of peace to all creatures on earth.
