Princess Sukey: The Story of a Pigeon and Her Human Friends, by Marshall Saunders (1861 - 1947)

This project is complete and all audio files can be found in the catalogue: https://librivox.org/princess-sukey-the-story-of-a-pigeon-and-her-human-friends-by-marshall-saunders/
Dear little Princess Sukey sitting by the fire—pretty little pigeon—of what is she thinking as she dreamily eyes the blazing wood? If a pigeon could review its past life, what she has of bird mind would be running back over the series of adventures that she had ere she established herself in this well ordered household.
Has she any mentality of her own, or are all pigeons stupid as has been said? Listen to her story, and judge for yourself. (From Chapter One)
Additional proof-listening by KHand and Oreki.

I will be the DPL. Also, I'm not familiar with the book, so I will provide the keywords for the tags for Archive later on.

Those chapters are long! I was going to pop in and say "Can I have" and then pick three, but I'll have to think about that. :)

Thank you! I'm looking forward to this. It's been a while since I did my first librivox recording, and I think that I've learnt a bit since then. I hope I have. :)
