'There are too many pigeons in Paris' decreed the Chief of Policeand so - in due course - he ordered them to be deported in large numbers farfar away to the forests of the Landes and of the Dordogne.Poor Evangeline! She had just settled down in a nest under a gargoyle on Notre Dame Cathedral with Gabriela handsome pigeon from the Arc de Triomphewhen their happiness was cut short.In no time at all Gabriel was on his way to the Landes and Evangeline to the Dordogne.Life in the forest was frightening for a city pigeonbut Evangeline managed to survive - first with a flock of friendly pigeons that took her to live with them in their cave-homelater in the dovecote of a farmer who raised pigeons as a hobby and showed them in Paris.And all the whilein true pigeon fashionshe mourned for Gabriel.How Evangeline finally returned to Paris where she found Gabriel waitingsomewhat impatientlyby their abandoned nestand how the young farmer found his true love in Paristooare told with the warmth and humour that mark Mrs Carlson's writing. In 1957the pigeons of Paris were deported just as Miss Carlson describes hereand in time many of them were able to find their way back.Mrs Carlson sympathetic imagination was caughtand out of this true happening 'Pigeon of Paris'came into being.
