OWLS IN THE FAMILY

‘I had placed one (owl) on a
branch of the mango tree and was stooping to pick up the other, when I
received quite a heavy blow on the back of my head. A second or two later,
the mother owl swooped down at Grandfather, but he was agile enough to duck
out of its way.’This is a collection of Ruskin Bond’s ‘small town’ stories.
Meet Ranji’s wonderful bat which is his lucky charm, along with wacky
parrots, ostriches, owls and a number of idiosyncratic characters in other
stories. Hold your breath as Romi cycles through a raging forest fire and
follow the Boy Scouts on delightful adventures. Lose yourself in timeless
romantic classics ‘The Eyes Have It’ and ‘Time Stops at Shamli’ and savour
the bitter sweetness of ‘The Blue Umbrella’.Owls in the Family will take you
on a journey through childhood and youth through romance and thrill, leaving
you enchanted with Bond’s beautiful world.
