"Gay-Neck: The Story of a Pigeon" by Dhan Gopal Mukerji is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a pigeon named Gay-Neck, who is nurtured in Calcutta and trained for various adventures, including war and survival amidst the natural beauty of India. The book blends themes of friendship, loyalty, and the powerful bond between animals and humans. The opening of this novel sets the stage by introducing the rich cultural backdrop of pigeon keeping in India, particularly in Calcutta, where Gay-Neck is born. The narrative begins with Gay-Neck’s parents, highlighting the significance of his lineage, and unfolds Gay-Neck's early experiences, including his birth and education, under the watchful eyes of his loving parents. The author vividly describes the day-to-day life of these birds, their instincts, and their relationships with humans. As the story progresses, we see Gay-Neck’s growing abilities and the profound connection he shares with his caretaker, foreshadowing the adventures that await him.
