Eric Stanley Pigeon

Old Smelly has never had much luck — until the day a young pigeon with a very peculiar talent wanders into his life.

When Old Smelly the tramp meets Eric Stanley Pigeon, something wonderful — and rather improbable — begins. Eric has a gift, the kind that could change everything at the horse races, and suddenly Old Smelly is dreaming of a fortune. Dick King-Smith wraps a most unusual friendship around a wonderfully funny premise and lets it run.

At its heart this is a story about hope — and about how the best things in life have a habit of arriving in the most unexpected, feathered packages.

A warm and witty read for children who love animals and a generous bit of gentle humour — the kind of short, satisfying story that disappears in one happy sitting.
