About This Book

The corrupt, though democratically elected avian government of the Keoladeo National

Park, Bharatpur is forcibly taken over by a monstrous white crow from Bombay and his

crack force of commando 'crownies', by means of treachery, deceit and violence. A steel-taloned

dictatorship is imposed on the park and all fundamental rights annulled. But

this desperate hour produces unlikely heroes. There is Achaanak the shikra for one,

Titiri, editor of Did He Do It?, Phutki the tailorbird and a host of other citizens, even

Ghughuji, the great horned owl who is so given to preaching. Meanwhile, the evil

leaders of the erstwhile government, notably Chakumar Billa the tomcat and Budhboo

the bandicoot, plot their own return to power. What ensues is a bitter battle for

supremacy.
