THE TREES OF DEHRA (PB)

Tall and sturdy, their leaves
gently rustling in the wind, trees form the backbone of life on Earth. They
never discriminate between life forms while welding them from the heat or
showering them with their bounty. But these providers of life have always been
taken for granted, chopped down or burnt to ashes to accommodate the March of
modernity. In this book, Ruskin Bond gives a humane touch to these gentle
giants, from the legendary Willows, who do more than ‘weep’, to the godlike
deodars, who are forever trying to reach the heavens to live up to their
name. Through captivating quotations and classic illustrations, The trees of
Dehra will remind you that endangering these silent chroniclers of the past
will endanger the future of our planet too.
