GRANNY’S TALES (PB)

 ‘Granny was a genius. You’d like to know
why?
 
 Because she could climb trees.
Spreading or high
 
 She’d be up their branches in a
trice. And mind you
 
 When last she climbed a tree, she
was sixty-two.’
 
You ask anybody who their favourite member of the family is, and their
answer will be one of their
grandparents. A grandparent’s capacity for love, the abundance of affection
that they hold and share
with abandon, make them the purest and the best people to be with. What is
more, they entertain
you with stories of a time past and sometimes, if we are lucky, they
partake in crazy activities with
us as witnesses.

In  Granny’s Tales , Ruskin Bond
takes us through such stories of affection and tenderness, of grandpas being
hilarious—fighting ostriches, building zoos in his backyard and tickling
tigers. And the wonder that grandmas are—telling bedtime stories with
flourish, witnessing us climbing trees for afternoon hilarity and teaching
lessons that will help us in all. This book is the perfect dose of
grandparent stories, for children and adults alike!
