The Crow Chronicles

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.
