The Scandaroon is a 1972 novel by the English writer Henry Williamson. It is set in a Devon village in the 1920s and is about people who raise and train homing pigeon and participate in pigeon racing, as a rare Scandaroon pigeon arrives. It was Williamson's last novel.[1][2]
Kirkus Reviews called it a "discreetly atmospheric book" with a "wealth of information and pleasing lyrical tributes to the birds and their handsome enemies -- the hawks".[3]
