100 doves

If you had to hunt 100 doves, how would you do it? In the book “The Hundredth Dove” by Jane Yolen, is about a man named Hugh who was a fowler was dedicated and loyal to his king. Hugh was assigned to catch 100 doves for his kings wedding. The story further on is very good.
On the other hand this book was well written and fun to read because it was a good fantasy story and easy to understand. The book was always on topic instead of dosing off. And a good fantasy story is always fun to read.
Furthermore the characters where great too. The characters where Hugh, the king, a white dove, and the kings bride. Hugh who was a fowler lived in the forest and cached birds for the king. The king didn’t have a big part, or the bride. And the white dove died.

Finally a review of how the story went. Hugh was on a mission to bring 100 doves for his kings wedding. Every day he would bring 20 back. On the night before the wedding day he was short. The first day he saw a white majestic bird and was determined to catch it. As soon as he did it started talking to Hugh, asking to be free. It gave him offers; even one to marry the king’s bride, which Hugh never saw anyone more pretty. Loyal Hugh did not except and killed the bird. The next day there wasn’t a wedding.
