- Synopsis
- After their home is destroyed by a bom, 10-year-old Sandy and 13-year-olds Tess and Ivy move with their father to a farmhouse in the country. They meet a mysterious Belgian refugee, Emile, who works on an adjoining farm and is an expert on raising pigeons. Emile teaches them to raise and train homing pigeons, though he remains secretive about his own life and situation. The children devise a plot to unmask a Black Marketeer, using one of their pigeons to relay a crucial message. This is a lovely period piece, with well-drawn characters, lots of British ironic humor, and plenty of lore about pigeons.
