THE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION FOR YOUNG READERS

Ruskin Bond has been writing
stories for children for over six decades now, delighting and enchanting each
new generation of readers with his heart-warming tales of friendship, love
and coming-of-age. Curated in this essential collection are some of his best-loved
stories, designed to introduce the young reader to Ruskin’s cast of beloved
characters – from the irrepressible Rusty, with his constant thirst for
adventure, to his Grandfather, with his overflowing kindness towards all
creatures great and small, from the resolute Bina, who braves a leopard to
walk to school, to Suraj and Sunder Singh, who become unlikely friends.
Including classic tales such as ‘The Girl on the Train’, ‘Coming Home to
Dehra’, ‘The Room of Many Colours’ and ‘The Blue Umbrella’, in turns funny,
touching, whimsical and nostalgic, this collection is a must-read for
children and adults alike.
