Henry and Anthony: The Adventures of a Canada Goose and a Homing Pigeon - Paperback

by H. Lynn Beck (Author)

On a grassy, hill-covered college campus, Henry was born to two loving parents who taught him to believe in the Great Goose. From the start, Henry was a special goose, brought into the world with a unique purpose-though no one knew what it would be.

After an accident left him alone in the world, Henry followed what he believed to be the Great Goose's wishes. Despite his doubts, he continued on an unknown path with no clear destination or purpose. Along the way, he gathered an unusual group of companions, including an aging cobbler and Korean War veteran. He also befriended a lost homing pigeon-creating an ironic pair: a Canada goose with no direction and a homing pigeon that couldn't find its way home.

Together, they embarked on a journey reminiscent of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza-only with feathers. Their group grew to include a Mallard duck named Gilbert, two aging widowed Canada geese, Andy and Leroy, and three testy Russian geese, Nicholas, Dmitri, and Natasha. As they traveled the world solving problems, they learned to understand and appreciate one another, forming an unlikely but inseparable bond.
