Beautifully illustrated by Hans Saefkow, Dave Sudbury's famous song tells the story of Charlie Hudson, a working-class man who raised racing pigeons in Derby. In 1913, he entered one of his pigeons in a race from Rome to England. On the day of the race, a storm came up and all the pigeons disappeared - all except for Charlie's pigeon, which went on to international stardom and became known as the King of Rome'.'

"In the West End of Derby lived a working man. He said, I can't fly, but my pigeons can." And so begins a lovely little book, with beautiful pencil and crayon illustrations that perfectly capture the greyness of Derby, the glory of flight, and the possibility of hope: "Yeah, I know, but I had to try. You see, a man can crawl around, or he can fly." A thoughtful meditation on the importance of dreaming, King of Rome will also introduce young readers to a wonderful song! ( )
