A flight of pigeons is a classic novella by Ruskin Bond about the twists of fate,chistpry and human heart. Set during the revolt of 1857, this is a haunting story, rich in detail and drama, told with simplicity and deep humanity.

This classic story was the inspiration behind the iconic film Jonoon by Shyam Benegal. When we started working on the cover for this saga, taking reference of the popular characters turned out to be a very good decision. Brilliant artist and designer Sreenihal (@sreenihal) worked his magic and the pigeon took a real flight. What a handsome cover, full of grit and gusto.
