‘If music be the food of love, play on!’ Iridesco, Lulu, Dolly and Dove are helped by Roger who lives beneath the thatch of a beautiful barn on the South Downs Way. As romance blossoms, a rude interruption brings out another side of Roger’s personality.
Iridesco: A Homer’s Odyssey is an almost fictional story about a flock of feral pigeons in lockdown. Set in Brighton, London and the countryside in between, it follows the lives of Iridesco, Lulu, Dolly and Dove as they embark on a journey that teaches them about the dangers and delights of life as a bird and the relationship between humans, pigeons and homing pigeons.
Part adventure story, part rom-com, the series features raucous crows that speak in iambic pentameter, a trip along the Regent’s Canal and a mysterious code of honour that all birds must follow.
