What if you killed something that was special but you didn’t believe it. In “The Hundredth Dove” by Jane Yolen the same thing happened. This book is good because it’s not a boring short story like other ones. The background is maybe a couple 100 years ago. That’s another reason why I like the story is because I like stories that happen long time ago. The other background is in England.
The characters in The Hundredth Dove, there is really not a lot of them, but there’s a king a fowler whose name is Hugh there’s also doves a slim, elegant, and white as milk it was gray-blue and meaty dove. There was also the kings’ wife whose name is lady Columbia which means dove. The characters in this book are well described. I could really picture the characters in my mind.
The king is getting married in one week of time. Since the women’s name means dove, the king ordered the fowler or Hugh to catch 100 doves. He took his mission and everyday he caught at least 20 birds but he could never catch one dove he was the quickest of them all. This book (short story) is really good as I already said.
Just as I like that one little paragraph I like this whole book overall. I tried my best to tell you the best I can in telling this book. I think Janen Yolen is one of the best short story writers. What if you killed something that was special but you didn’t believe it. You probably will think twice before you kill something.
