Description
Jim Emerton, an icon of pigeon racing and an
intellectual giant whose talents and outspoken
views have made him famous far beyond the pigeon
world, is a self-confessed legend in his own lifetime.
He bred and raced birds for four decades with
spectacular success, and now in retirement shares
his wisdom freely, in person and in his copious
writings, with his many disciples. A natural loner, at
times even a recluse who prefers remote seashores
and quiet fields to pubs and parties, Jim has known
wild times and dark days, exultation and depression,
moments of glory and ignominious defeats. Here he
looks back on his eclectic life, with contributions and
tributes from some of his many admirers.
